Got a new situation. In the last week, I've started feeling mild "shortness of breath" sensations in my chest. Also having a cardio history (heart attack in 2016), I'm hypersensitive to those twinges. Seems that possible side affects of both prednisone and Alendronate include that symptom. Heading on a cruise late next week, I've booked a cardiology appt for next Monday. *sighing* the cardio office is closed Thursday and Friday for the 4th of July, so I couldn't get in sooner. On the plus side, my full lipid panels, thanks to Big Pharma since the heart attack, have had me consistantly in a very low risk category.
