Patient's question:
I first got myocarditis four years ago. After that, I was hospitalized for a week and then took a lot of traditional Chinese medicine after discharge. Later, I had several episodes of myocarditis again and took many Western medicines for treatment. Until now, I haven't fully recovered. Recently, I was hospitalized for another half month. Now I'm taking traditional Chinese medicine, which has been over a month, but I still don't feel any improvement. Digestive symptoms: I get colds very easily, and whenever I get a cold, my heart rate increases significantly.Doctor's answer:
Myocarditis is an inflammatory change in the heart muscle caused by viral infection, which can be localized or diffuse. Most cases of viral myocarditis have a good prognosis, while a few may progress to chronicity or develop into dilated cardiomyopathy. After myocarditis, it is important to rest, avoid overexertion, and prevent colds. Myocarditis can lead to tachycardia signs. Emotional excitement can cause vasospasm, leading to myocardial ischemia and pain.
