Hi Duncan. I also suffer with this complaint. And I was told it’s inflammation of the sack around the heart. Obviously the sack is there to protect the heart but being that it’s inflamed it will cause you much pain. And discomfort. They put me on a tablet called colchicine which helped a lot. I hope this can be of some help to you.

Hi I too have pericarditis. Constant ache on chest and pain between shoulder blades. I also have dreadful sweats, not sure if related to this or other meds. I was also given colchicine but so far no improvement. It has given me an upset stomach, diarrhoea and nausea. Did you experience this?
