Patient's question:
At a young age, I carefully checked and found that I had myocarditis. I often felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and felt out of breath after doing a little work. I was easily exhausted and had symptoms of dizziness. What is the best treatment for myocarditis?Doctor's answer:
If you suffer from myocarditis, it is expected that you will receive systematic treatment. First, you should rest in bed and avoid excessive exercise to prevent myocardial damage. Using many drugs that nourish the heart muscle will be helpful for the disease. If there is arrhythmia, heart enlargement, severe myocarditis, or cardiogenic shock, symptomatic treatment is needed, and the time of bed rest should be shortened. Mild cases can often gradually recover after sufficient rest within half a year; moderate cases can also gradually improve after treatment and rest for more than one year; severe cases have a poor prognosis, often lingering for several years, and finally developing into cardiomyopathy leading to heart failure. Some acute cardiogenic shock patients may die quickly if rescue is not timely.
