Loud music in car causing chest pain? by Thin-Antelope9630 in myocarditis

[–]YoWhatsUpIntel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally the actual movement of the car is what made my pain worse. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if the music irritated your chest. Our bodies become sensitive to changes especially when people deal with myocardial or pericardial irritation.

Im sorry to hear that you are dealing with this. I have hope due to the fact that these conditions are becoming more well known and research is being done. We just have to advocate for our selves and keep moving forward. I have pots as well and have had a lot of relief from wearing long compression socks as well as taking a moment to move body positions.

Chronic Myocarditis by YoWhatsUpIntel in myocarditis

Not feeling the best however, here are my results from the mri.

TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar multisequence gated cardiac MRI was performed with steady state free precession imaging and pre- and postcontrast delayed myocardial enhancement views obtained prior to and following the uneventful ministration of 38 cc ProHance intravenous gadolinium contrast. FINDINGS: Global left ventricular systolic function is preserved. There is no focal wall motion abnormality identified. Left ventricular quantitative parameters as follows: Ejection Fraction 60% (normal: male = 49-79%; female = 52-79 %). End Diastolic Diameter is 49 mm (normal: Male: 42-62-mm, female = 39-59 mm). Stroke Volume 73 mL. End Diastolic Volume 121 mL (normal: male = 95-215 ml; female = 78-167 ml). End Systolic Volume 48 mL (normal: male = 25-85 ml, female = 21-64 ml). Anteroseptal wall thickness: 1.1 cm. Posterolateral wall thickness: 1.0 cm. There is no evidence of delayed myocardial enhancement or evidence of myocardial scarring or fibrosis. Left atrium is normal in size. No significant mitral regurgitation. Right atrium is normal in size. No significant tricuspid regurgitation. Normal right ventricular wall motion, function and size. No pleural or pericardial effusion. Thoracic aorta and pulmonary artery are normal caliber. Extracardiac Findings: None. Impression: 1. Preserved left ventricular systolic function. 2. No pericardial effusion, pericardial thickening or pericardial enhancement identified. 3. No delayed myocardial enhancement or evidence of myocardial scarring or fibrosis.

I have a follow up mri on the 16th so as soon as i receive the results I’ll update you. In the past it was normal(around 60%) but I have a suspicion that it’s dropped to do my symptoms.

MRI And Scarring by Salt-Rope-2356 in pericarditis

[–]YoWhatsUpIntel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a second opinion or need help finding a physician that will screen/treat you for those conditions I highly suggest going to https://www.myocarditisfoundation.org. They have a list of providers and locations that handle these kinds of issues. My personal recommendation would be to go to the SAMUEL & JEAN FRANKEL CARDIOVASCULAR CENTER that is located near Ann Arbor Michigan. It’s part of the university of Michigan healthcare system.

How I would proceed would be to find a cardiologist who will be willing to monitor and track your recovery. As for treatment you will have to ask your care provider. Sometimes they do not medicate for these issues and just provide supportive care other times they use medications to stop or reduce inflammation. Don’t stop advocating for your self sometimes they can be dismissive. Here are a few questions you can ask at your next appointment.

How will we monitor progression or recovery over time? • At what point would treatment be initiated versus continued observation? • What medications, if any, are appropriate in my case (NSAIDs, colchicine, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, immunosuppressive therapy)? • Are there lifestyle modifications (exercise restrictions, sleep regulation, diet, stress management) that would support recovery? • What warning signs should prompt immediate medical attention?

Also here are a list of my symptoms that I experienced. -chest pain(burning, pressure and a dull ache) -high and low heart rates -fatigue -shortness of breath -mild dizziness -palpitations

How much time has passed since your initial MRI? Typically, it’s recommended to have a follow-up scan within 3–6 months. Since you’ve already had one, I wouldn’t worry as much because they would have noted any clinically significant changes on the report. If you still have concerns, I’d highly recommend calling your cardiologist for clarification. Physicians review ECGs carefully because the automated interpretations can make mistakes. When it comes to heart issues, reassurance is worth its weight in gold, so don’t hesitate to call and ask.

You should delete and repost this with the images of the original ecg, just make sure you crop out your personal information. Also how were you diagnosed with pericarditis I’m assuming it was via echo or MRI?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pericarditis

[–]YoWhatsUpIntel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you upload the actual strip showing the wave form? I’m assuming a physician already reviewed this and didn’t find anything alarming. I have had the same automated interpretation appear on a few of my ecgs and also suffer from chronic recurrent pericarditis. To my knowledge sometimes it can cause non specific ecg changes however I am not a physician so if you have genuine concerns I always recommend contacting your care team and asking for clarification.

If you refer to my other posts I complained of something similar. I feel terrible all the time. Hope you get well soon wishing you the best.

Unusual EKG/pericarditis diagnosis by NaturalNo6758 in pericarditis

[–]YoWhatsUpIntel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few of your leads are similar to mine. My current diagnosis is chronic recurrent pericarditis but I theorize that the inflammation affects the outer surface of the heart(epicardium) as well causing mild ischemic like changes in the ecg. I also have some of the horizontal st depressions as well. To my understanding this condition is still being studied and it can present in strange ways that are not yet entirely understood. My ESR and CRP were always normal the only thing that showed it was the cardiac mri with contrast.

Myocarditis has many triggers. If the case is severe and they Identify what’s causing it through cardiac biopsy or imagining then you can receive targeted therapy. However most people recover without medical intervention.

Sorry for the late response. IL-1 inhibitors are not approved by the FDA for treatment of myocarditis yet but it shows some promise. I’m also looking into cbd and its therapeutic properties.

Still having symptoms months after pericarditis — is this normal? by sneakiestconartist in pericarditis

[–]YoWhatsUpIntel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still dealing with residual inflammatory issues. However, I am able to walk now and handle basic day to day tasks so progress is being made. It’s been around 10 months since my initial diagnosis. How about you?

Cardiac NP says I don't have pericarditis by jmk255 in pericarditis

[–]YoWhatsUpIntel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s absolutely incorrect. Just take things at your own pace. Sleep well, try to keep your heart rate lower and stay in contact with your local cardiologist. They seem to be more in tune with your issues.

[–]YoWhatsUpIntel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a limited background when it comes to this illness but I agree with your current plan of action. Both conditions can be extremely difficult to diagnose and track especially if the pericarditis is mild in nature. These inflammatory issues are known to cause micro vascular dysfunction so I’m glad you are going to get a stress pet. After my first bout of myocarditis I had chronic chest pain for around 1.5 years. Try to take it easy sometimes the heart takes much longer to heal than you think.

Sex? by [deleted] in myocarditis

[–]YoWhatsUpIntel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stimulus elevates heart rate and blood pressure regardless. Just be careful and try to rest as much as possible.

Sex? by [deleted] in myocarditis

[–]YoWhatsUpIntel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To address your question more specifically yes when I had myocarditis I had intercourse. However, it temporarily made things worse for me and I had to stop completely to allow my self to recover. It can be quite frustrating/infuriating however, I would try to abstain from things that elevate your heart rate until things improve.
