I am making a slow recovery from Myocarditis leg pain is gone which is great but I still have all the usual aches and pains. But I wake up every morning with the worst headache consistently regardless on how much sleep I have.Does anyone else have this?

Hi there,

The headaches sadly are normal - I had to switch beta blockers and up the dose to try and control mine eventually.

Myocarditis is a slow recovery, it's 3-6 months normally, some recover quickly, some take a bit longer. You're a month in from what I can see so try to take it easy and rest up. Let your doctor know if you're still experiencing headaches as they have a protocol to follow for this...
