Oh YES!!
Tachycardia and palpatations go hand-in-hand with steroids. Sometimes it's hard to tell because other meds(asthma) can cause it too. When you combine them it increases the effect. Whenever someone tells me they are taking steroids for the first time, I always warn them about the heartrate/palpatations, insomnia,and mood swings.
That way they don't think they're going nuts or dying. The duration of side effects varies from person to person.
