Just my opinion but yes I think it has something to do with it.
I know 100% it affects your temp when I am flaring or have inflammation my temp runs almost 100 when I am on my Remicade or dosing on pred it is around 97.
I feel like if the pred helps the inflammation then your in less pain which I think absolutely would affect your blood pressure.

thanks lisa  interesting how the little symptoms are sometimes the biggest clues like i never realized just how much i always have "a touch of gastritis" til i was on the pred and no longer "always hungry" "always stomach growling" sometimes you just don't know, til you can experience the opposite.

Hi Sue: Yes, I believe the Prednisone (due to decreased inflammation and pain) brought down your blood pressure to normal.
I have been on low dose steroids (2 mg a day) for years. Some of my docs tell me I don't spike fevers when I am sick due to the Prednisone and it makes it more difficult to know when to treat a bug versus not to. On a positive, it keeps my blood pressure normal except when I have sinus issues. Then, it is very low, usually 80/50.
