Prednisone has a way of causing things to not be regulated properly. My blood pressures were going extremely high after every prednisone dose until the effects of my daily prednisone dose lessened later in the day. Later in the day, my blood pressure tended to be lower.

My blood pressures were called "labile" but my blood pressures still needed to be prevented from going too high. I needed 3 blood pressure medications when I was on prednisone.

Things have stabilized during the years since I tapered off prednisone.

Off prednisone --- I don't need any blood pressure medications and they have all been discontinued. Now my body is regulating my blood pressure without additional medications.

I will be hopeful that the same will be true for me. I guess if am taking the prednisone in the morning it would be good timing to take my losartan, which I have been doing.
Went to the eye doctor today and need to schedule my cataract surgery for this spring. Hope it doesn’t cause any further PMR issues.
Thanks for your input.
