Can Myocarditis/Pericarditis cause you to miss periods? Ever since I started getting ill I have missed a couple of periods but have definitely not been pregnant or had any significant weight loss etc either time.

I have recurrent pericarditis. I've been through the Change but developed the pericardial condition when much younger - it didn't have any affect on my cycle that I could tell.
If you're having cessation of menstruation the best thing is to bring it up soon as with your GP in hope you'll be referred to a gynaecologist.
The cause could simply be early onset perimenopause, your meds (which can be adjusted if they know there is a problem), previously undiagnosed polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or some other gynaecological condition so the only medical advice you should take is to see a trained professional.
Please update once you've been investigated for the cause. I'll be thinking of you!
