Hello dear
I understand your concern
Nothing to worry.
It is just side effect of the prednisone as you have taken the large doses.
It will disappear with in the 1-2 week as the effects of the steroid goes away.
Maintain optimum temprature of room while sleeping and drink plenty of water.
Hope this may help you
