Brief Answer:
Nothing to do with steroids intake,but to sinus infection...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
1. Sinus infection is usually treated with antibiotics and steroids to fight the infection and inflammation.
2. Sinus infection is commonly associated with being fatigued; that's why patients are advised to rest more; drink plenty of fluids and take medications as prescribed.
3. Feeling your body trembling might be because perhaps you did not have appetite during these days while suffering of sinus infection. This might have caused low blood sugar levels and nutrients deficiency that would have lead to trembling.
4. Feeling emotional and mood swings is due to sinus infection; the pain and suffering you might have passed during these days might have caused feeling emotional.
All these have nothing to do with steroids intake (not their side effects).
I advise to continue taking medications as prescribed; if symptoms will get aggravated or continued should consult with neurologist further.
Wish fast recovery!
