Pericarditis ( do you suffer with it?)

GT_TDI_150

Hi,

Im not sure is this the right place for this, looking at the threads here I suspect it isnt but as this falls under 'health' I though it was a good pleace to start. **Mods feel free to move it on somewhere more appropriate**

Ok, so I suffer from acute Pericarditis which is a (re-occuring, very painful) inflamation of the membrane around the heart. :( :mad: :(

Im on anti-inflamatories, colchechine and painkillers which for the most part do a job.

However, there are certain non medical things that eleviate the pain.

For example, I know that interlocking my fingers behind my head and pushing my elbows backwards takes the presure off the pain for a small while.

So .... if you suffer from Predarditis what is your go-to trick to eleviate the discomfort?

Can a mod move this to health sience thread please?

Im not sure health sciences is the correct place. Do you want it move to Long Term Illness?
