Pericarditis

This started 1 day after my January 2nd ablation and has never totally gone away. Some days it is very evident with allot of discomfort. Naproxen etc. is off the menu due to Apixaban. Does anyone have a) similar experience & if so what did you do & b) is there a greater risk with Covid 19 around ? Many thanks

What has your EP done about treating the pericarditis? I would have thought any inflamataion would have subsided by now.

Thanks Bob - he did tell me to do 3 days naproxen. That was 6 weeks ago. I have a call into him as of 10 days ago but despite prompting him no response as yet. Hope you are keeping well. Your car refurbished must be coming along well!!

Skyline getting close now--just making a new loom. Two Climax engines waiting for end of lock down to dyno test and a couple more in the pipe line.

I had Pericarditis about 18 months ago after an ablation. I was put on Colchicine and Prednisolone for 3 days by my EP. It took a good few months for it to settle fully. Take care and rest up.
