diagnosed Myocarditis on MRI

[Cabg_nave]

Hi all,

long story short cabgx3 in 2017 age 30, and last December troponin 197.

Post Cardiac MRI last week diagnosed with Myocarditis,

I still cannot walk fast and uphill, tightness and SOB.

How long has one being treated for ? Or suffering this. Are these symptoms common

I am pretty sure will be back to normal and healthy but when ?

thank you

recovery after myocarditis can be very slow - there have been other posts on this and you can find them with a search, but they should also pop up as Related Posts (on a laptop screen)

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle - inflammation of muscle damages the bits of the muscle cells which turn fuel and oxygen into energy, these are called mitochondria - there is nothing known which can repait these so the only option is patience as the cells repair themselves

while your heartmuscle is damaged in this way it simple can not pump as well as it should so your body does not get the fuel and oxygen it needs as quickly as it wants it because the delivery system has slowed down - trying to exercise your way better is not helpful - the only option is patience and careful pacing of activity while your heart recovers - several charities offer advice on this like the ME Association: meassociation.org.uk/litera... and the Royal Papworth Hospital offer a download on Energy Conservation which you can find online but i don't know how to add it here
