Taking Steroids For Addison's Disease. Have Afib In Heart. Feeling Tired And Sweating. Required Medication?
I am Dr. Prasad Akole (Critical Care Expert- http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole) and am glad to address to your query here.
You have many health problems together and you must be on a lot of medications. I can understand your situation and I never think my patient is crazy !
I would help me to advise you something more meaningful if you could put all the medications that you are on here. Are you also on fludrocortisone and blood thinners?
Do you have black discoloration of the tongue / mouth?
Addison’s if inadequately controlled can cause weakness as also many other causes like low sodium, low BP.
Please post as much info as you can online on this site so that I can tell you precisely what else can be done.
I hope you are fully satisfied with the guidance I gave.
I would be glad to answer any further queries.
Thank you and Good luck!

Addisions’ needs complete replacement with both hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone.
Please discuss with your treating doctor about adding fludrocort once a day.
Plesae check your electrolytes including magnesium and calcium.
You are on lot many drugs for different problems.
I hope you keep your INR near twice normal for warfarin. It could be given once a day.
You can try transdermal pain patches like fentanyl patch for pain relief round the clock.
Blood pressure may need uptitration of BP medications as per cardiologist’s advice as your heart had an ablation.
Also ask your doctor if you need HRT for menopausal effects.
Please let me the reports of the tests you are going to get soon.
Hope to have helped you here.
Would be glad to answer any queries anytime.
