Patient's question:
My heart has never been good. Recently, I often feel chest tightness and a stinging pain. Sometimes it hurts so much that I can't move. After researching, I found it might be symptoms of myocarditis. Is myocarditis treatable? Is it within the scope of heart disease? What kind of tests should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, myocarditis is a type of heart disease that requires active treatment. Otherwise, it can lead to heart failure and endanger life. The detailed examinations for myocarditis include blood tests, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, and magnetic resonance imaging of the heart. It is recommended that you avoid fatigue, do not stay up late, prevent excessive mental stress, do not eat stimulating foods, and avoid strenuous exercise.
