The Drinking Age Is Past Its Prime. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act, passed by Congress 30 years ago this July, is a gross violation of civil liberties and must be repealed. It is absurd and unjust that young Americans can vote, marry, enter contracts and serve in the military at 18 but cannot buy an alcoholic drink in a bar or restaurant.
Hiya Shmitty, I am not a medical doctor, I only speak of my own experience of having illnesses that require that I take steroids. Yes, in some cases prednisone can cause heart irregularities i.e. fluttering, palpitations etc. This needs to be brought to the attention of your prescribing doctor as soon as possible.
Take prednisone. This corticosteroid is an anti-inflammatory that your doctor may prescribe. Your doctor may prescribe you to take it for a week, then reduce the dosage for the following week. As an anti-inflammatory, prednisone may help reduce the swelling of the facial nerve causing Bell's Palsy.
