I was wondering if I should try going without my tykosin. I was on Hydrocortisone for my Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency the Hospital Dr changed me to prednisone. If hydro caused my afib and I am no longer taking it could I stop this Med... just a thought.. What do you think.... I would not do it without a Dr.

Hi @cecilias, I moved your message to this discussion where you have connected with other members who know your story.
Discontinuing tykosin if you're no longer experiencing a-fib is certainly a discussion to have with your doctor. Has it been established that hydrocortisone caused the a-fib? Has the a-fib completely disappeared? What side effects if any are you experiencing from the prednisone? Good questions to ask a cardiologist who knows you.
