Thanks for the thorough and informative response. I do take prednisone for almost 3 months now. I think the lower 40/50's pulse did start after prednisone started. Also think the hard pounding issue did start after as well but that is what is so concerning to me...feels as if my heart is working really hard

I didnt know it was possible to be overhydrated. I drink a lot of water, partly because i always have and partly because it does help somewhat in keeping my emotional overeating in check (MG has done nothing to weaken my ability to overeat!)
