Follow up 10/07/2002: "Patient reported that she was on Prednisone for approximately 8 weeks as recommended by her physician (name of a physician's assistant provided).  She experienced many adverse effects from the Prednisone - specifically high blood pressure to the point she required medication.  At her last visit to the ENT specialist.
