Latuda and its side effects?

I recently started taking Latuda. Been in er three times..but here's the catch...the day before I started I was seen in er with chest pain.took latuda that night.and next day had shortness of breath......back to er got prednisone,and levaquin...went to work and ppl are freaking that rather I'm sunburned or Bp was high.....turned out Bp was high 152/102 ...was red and flushed only on head neck and face.....nowhere else......was told prednisone side effect....but being riddled with panic disorder I checked latuda site......rare but deadly side effect called nms...neuropaletic malignant syndrome.....symptoms are. Excess sweating,Bp changes,heart beat changes, rigid muscles confusion,fever,breathing changes......says if have any of these to call needs treatment in hospital......is this thing I'm going thru nms? And the doctors are only assuming it's from prednisone,and overlooking the latuda?

You would have to go back to a doctor to find what they think, since no one can diagnose you from here. Until you get a definitive diagnosis, the odds are in your favor that it is the prednisone since the latuda only has it as a rare side effect. How much longer are you going to be on prednisone?
