My GP thinks I may have had pericarditis caused by an abscess rupture. Has anyone any experience of these conditions and recovery? I am scared it might happen again. I've had some antibiotics and my heart rate has gone down (it was all fluttery and 128/min and is now about 70/min)
I'm left with pleuritic type chest pain and an achy back and have been prescribed Naproxen, an anti-inflammatory.
The abscess may have been caused during my past history of surgery (I had two major ops for bowel ischemia and peritonitis last year)
Many thanks
