Hi I too have recurring Pericarditis am in the middle of a flare up at the moment. Its very debilitating as you say everything has to stop just walking upstairs can be challenging. I have asked various people gps etc why this happens noone can give me a reason why only that mine will reoccur each time I get a particular strain of cold/flu. Is yours caused by a viral infection too? I hope you feel well soon & are back training. Keep positive!
Andy I have had Pericarditis and taken Colchicine, it worked for me but be aware that it can upset your stomach. I took Lansoprazole to combat tummy problems. look on Facebook for pericarditis groups I am, a member of two closed groups that have been a help.
