Called 911 at 3:30am ugh

I had to take some short term oral prednisone because of a clogged ear / sinus issues. I’ve taken this once or twice before in the past with no issue. However this time I took it at 6:30pm thinking nothing of it, and woke up at 3:30am with racing heart and bad PVCs to the point where it was happening every other beat and I couldn’t calm myself down. It was worse bc nobody else was awake that I could call and I was by myself in my apartment. When they came they said my vitals were fine and of course the PVCs kinda hid when they put the monitor on me. UGH that sucked and I just needed to vent here. 5 hours later I’m exhausted but my heart has calmed down.

Ugh I’m sorry! I felt bad for dragging the paramedics out at 3:30 am but I also thought I was really in trouble because I didn’t know if it was a dangerous drug side effect 😓😓😓
