What should I do if I get myocarditis after childbirth?

Patient's question:

I got a cold two days before giving birth. Due to high blood pressure, I had a C-section. I started coughing right after coming out of the surgery. I also cannot eat dinner during the postpartum period. Yesterday, I was diagnosed with myocarditis. I am now feeling extremely weak, dizzy, vomiting dryly, having palpitations, and feeling very tired. What should I do if I get myocarditis after childbirth?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of myocarditis currently lacks a specific clinical therapy, hence it is essential to reiterate the importance of early and comprehensive evaluation. This is to prevent missing the opportunity for timely treatment and worsening the condition. For patients in labor, the daily treatment primarily focuses on symptomatic management. They can take various oral medications, complemented by a combination of vitamins, while maintaining regular sleep patterns and avoiding alcohol. Consuming fruits rich in vitamin C is beneficial for myocardial recovery.
