Found this article quite worrying - would welcome your thoughts
Daily Mail article yesterday... alarming reading as I struggle with permanent damage to my heart due to
myocarditis
and pericarditis. I don’t read many articles like this so wondered if anyone here with more experience/knowledge might offer some thoughts/comments please?

Recent Myocarditis diagnosis for my husband.
After a really difficult six months of my husband being admitted to hospital three times and having a pacemaker (due to heart block) an ablation (due to svt's), MRIs and Pet scans he has now received another diagnosis of
Myocarditis
. He is 45 and four years ago also had a replacement aortic valve.

Myocarditis vs. Heart Attack
As an outpatient, I had an MRI scan that showed some scarring consistent with
Myocarditis
i.e. a viral attack of the heart tissue rather than a blockage. So the question is, have I had a heart attack or is it classified some other way? (Thinking of health/life assurance impact). Thanks in advance.

Curious to know if anyone with history of
myocarditis

Myocarditis questions
Myocarditis
- My EF on an MRI was 46%. I was prescribed bisoprolol and ramipril. It’s now been 7 weeks since using them. For those who’ve had an acute bout of
myocarditis
/myopericarditis, and recovered within weeks, how long did you find you struggled with fatigue (mental or physical)?

myocarditis
left ventricular impairment. I’m home with 9 different meds and just feel like now what? I’m a little overwhelmed still a little confused and just don’t know where to turn without worrying someone.

Odd post myocarditis symptom - unable to fall asleep without gasping for air
After many visits he finally hospitalised with
Myocarditis
an inflammation of the lining around the heart. After a few months of Colchicine he still complained of chest pains but cardiologist say MRI showed
myocarditis
gone. And lately sleeping at night became difficult.

Hoping to support the Ambulance Service who supported me
Diagnosed with
myocarditis
and later with AF I wanted to give something back to thank them. I have recently published a book 'The Hideaway' on Amazon under the pen name Jennie Cordner. All proceeds from the sale of both the paperback and kindle version will go the the Ambulance service.

Chest pain only when lying down
Long and boring history, suspected
myocarditis
causing some dilation of right heart. Was getting a lot of right sided chest pain and shortness of breath during even easy exercise with really high heart rate.

Colchicine and Corona virus
At the moment I am taking colchine for my recurrent
myocarditis
. The inflammation has lasted almost ten months and is still causing pain. I am concern my inmune system is weak due to the colchicine. I wonder what can I do to improve my inmune response.
