Does prednisone tablet treat angina pectoris?

If you experience brief episodes of angina without an increase in duration or severity of pain, it is best not to take prednisone tablets. Prednisone is primarily used to treat unstable angina, and since it is a corticosteroid, long-term use may lead to adverse effects such as weight gain, edema, and elevated blood pressure. Based on the described condition—angina triggered by short-term sleep deprivation—it would be more appropriate to take nitroglycerin for relief and ensure adequate rest.
