Suffering From Asthma And Rhinitis And Taking Prednisolone, How To Lose Weight?
I have been on prednisolone on and off for approximately 22 months or more having had asthma, rhinitis , polyps removed, and asthma attacks requiring hospitalisation. I am trying to lose weight as I have put on approx. 28 lbs and have fatty deposits on my neck and back...my face is puffy..... .. Any advise you can give would be appreciated. Thank you

HI and thanks for using healthcare magic.
Prednisone for more than 22months is certainly a contributing factor to this. You should consider getting a planned diet modification, regular physical exercise and adopting an active lifestyle. It takes several weeks to observe meaningful weight loss and you should exercise patience and continue with good measures for long so as to see these benefits.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
