Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. What should I do if it's suspected to be myocarditis?Doctor's answer:
If you want to diagnose myocarditis, it is recommended to go to a formal hospital to undergo a blood test for myocardial enzymes. Its typical symptoms include fainting, chest tightness, and chest pain. You can also coordinate some relevant laboratory tests, such as an electrocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Additionally, it is important to check if the recent illness was caused by a viral myocarditis due to a cold. The main point is to emphasize bed rest and symptomatic treatment, as most patients can recover fully with proper treatment.
