I am now trying to limit the liquid I drink during the

Hi everyone I finally had my results of the MRI done Feb 1st. It showed previous peri myocarditis and some decrease cardiac intake . The cardiologist told me that this result should not be the cause of my daily chest pain .I asked about the myocarditis and he said it could reoccur and will need anti-inflammatory

Nice cuppa with a side of palpitations 😂
I've had palpitations since December. Also on Amlodipine for high BP since January. I'm currently waiting for the results of a 24 hour ECG to see what's going on with these palpitations. Just recently I've noticed that while I'm drinking any hot drink it seems to set off palpitations almost immediately
