Pericarditis/Constrictive Pericarditis
Hello, I would like to learn if anyone here has or had Constrictive Pericarditis. What are the treatments, which doctor in Mayo clinic you recommend?

He didn't mention that, but the cardiologist saw the ultrasound and inflammation. I did actually consider that condition in my hunt for what could be wrong but I didn't think my symptoms matched it.
My son who is 26 years old has been diagnosed with pericarditis it has been two months and he is not getting better he is on colchicine and pain med he has been through a lot and I am wondering if anyone has gone through this or how long does it take I am afraid he is not managed right
Thank you for sharing this and I hope your doing well can I ask you what kind of diet did you follow thanks
Hi,
Myself I have had this on and off confirmed 7 times from 15 to now 28 years old from 1 month to 7 months. Is he by any chance taking aspirin or advil derivitive ? I am asking as for some reason beyond Dr knowledge I cannot take either as it actually increases symptoms and pain.
Good morning
He is taking Tylenol Can I ask you how high your heart rate got to?? Did they give you prednisone?? We’re you on bed rest for all this time or you are practicing your life with pain? Thank you for any help god be with you always
Dear Teresa
No I didn’t see the video where can I see it I would love to watch it thanks
My son is diagnosed with pericarditis I am trying to connect with members who had this disease anyone in this group??
I would love to hear your experience and we have seen four cardiologist so far no answers we are waiting for our appointment at Mayo Clinic at the end of the month so frustrated with this
@pureprousa I'm so pleased that you have an appointment at Mayo in October. Fromm what I've read, it appears that recovery can take a long time. Mayo Clinic has a way of putting the puzzles pieces of symptoms together and making a good treatment plan and diagnosis.
Did you look at the video I posted yesterday? It may give you some helpful information.
hi -- i've been through 5 cardiologists so far. and i've had to do a lot of research b/cuz i don't get any thoughtful answers from the drs. so i am not qualified to tell you anything. but i'll share my experiences w. you if you want.
