Hi, I have been dealing with pericarditis for over 4 months. Up until a couple days I had been finally great for 1 month. It just hit me again this past Sunday. No where near as severe as all the other times but very close to the worse which hit early this AM. I am back on ibuprofen now per the cardiologist and had been decreasing prednisone very slowly and am still on colcrys..... when will this end? I really thought it was gone until this happened.
Hello, Pericarditis may repeat itself several times. Repeated episodes may take more time to go. You should take regularly your medication which is very strong for fighting repeated pericarditis. Meanwhile, you should stay at bed rest and do controlling echocardiography. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
