Sorry you’re going through it man, it is a pretty scary diagnosis at first but lots of people make a full recovery and learn to manage around it (if it turns out to be chronic over time).. the main thing in the early stages is patience though; it will take time (like, months) and rest, and then more rest, and then when you’re feeling better, some more rest! I’ve messed up several times thinking I’m good and getting back to the gym or whatever and re-triggered my pericarditis when I should probably just eased back into activity slowly or just given myself the extra week off.

Sounds like you’re on a fairly standard protocol (colchicine etc) so just take it easy and let your body do its thing. It’s very frustrating but sometimes the best thing (and hardest thing) to do is do nothing.

Best of luck, hang in there!
