Pericarditis anyone?

[Stanadams161]

Got diagnosed with pericarditis in Feb 2021. The pain has stopped and seems to be getting better but has not fully gone. Still always shows up on ECG as a borderline heart attack. How long will it take for this to go away or is this something else?

I can't particularly help you, but I'm curious: What are your symptoms, and how did your doctors arrive at that diagnosis? I have been preliminarily diagnosed with pericarditis twice, but never definitively. Understand that it's not always clear cut.

Thanks.

Hi I have suffered with peri and effusions since 2006. The best way to diagnose peri is with MRI but it can be seen on an echocardiogram. Hope this helps.
