Have recently been diagnosed with myocarditis this last week after experiencing chest pains.
I would consider myself a healthy, active 37 year old female. Non smoker and no underlying health issues.
Had covid quickly followed by the flu December last year, had experienced mild left side chest pain on/off for a couple of months, however the pain got progressively worse and I ended up in A&E. ecg, bloods and chest x Ray all ok, however apparently heart sounded muffled and I was diagnosed with myocarditis and sent home with little to no information. Was just told that I should start to feel better in a few weeks. I am now off work and I am only taking paracetamol. Barely sleeping as it’s so painful/uncomfortable on a night time.
looking for any advice or questions I need to be asking my doctor? And more importantly other people’s experience with myocarditis??
also now very anxious and uncertain what this means for the future and do the majority of people make a full recovery?
Would be grateful for any advice/feedback.
thank you
