Medrol usage
I have been prescribed medrol (16mg twice at night for 7 days). As I had a case of tinnitus. And the sound changes when i press my cheek area. Maybe bec of nerve issues. I actually want this tinnitus to go away so damn badly bt at d same time afraid to take medrol after reading abt ao many side effects :|. 1. I am not hypertensive. 2. I'm not diabetic. 3. Didnt check for blood sugar yet. 4. Have a history with anxiety. Also from last week I'm having a dull ache when i press below my right bottom rib, i am afraid something to do with kidney. Its only felt when i touch that area. So, my question is, should starting medrol under the above mentioned conditions will be alright? And is 32mg a higher dose? And another thing does it need to be tapered or i can stop it after a week's usage? And can I go to my office(I'm a corporate trainer btw) without any hassle? Please let me know so I can start the course asap! I'm afraid more about the side effects :(.
