Patient's question:
I'm not very old, but my health isn't very good. Last year, I had another heart attack, but the symptoms weren't very serious. Recently, I've been feeling that my chest is always tight. The doctor said it's pericarditis. Hello, what are the treatment methods for pericarditis after a heart attack?Doctor's answer:
For pericarditis, corticosteroids, sensitive antimicrobial drugs, antitubercular drugs, and other medications can be used for treatment. However, the specific medications need to be selected based on the original recurrence. If the patient experiences a recurrence of large amounts of effusion or symptoms of cardiac tamponade, pericardial puncture may be required to drain the fluid and detoxify.For patients with myocardial infarction, reinfusion therapy and tranquilizing, blood-activating treatment are necessary.
