Follow onto previous thread: 'Ds, 19, what are these symptoms' (don't know how to link, would be happy if anyone could do it for me?)
Ds in hospital since Sunday 1am. Presented at A&E with severe chest pain, vomiting, sore neck & shoulders. 8m after a bad dose of covid which had left him exhausted & with occasional 'stitch' feeling in chest during rest.
Bloods showed a Tryponin level of 2.5k, which increased to 3.7k on Mon, 4.2k Tues, 5.5k Weds. Thurs down to 3.2k.
Echo scan showed moderate LVSD. Given bisopralol. Re-scanned yesterday & told now normal. LVSD dx retracted. Still has dx of Myocarditis. No cause?
MRI scheduled for this afternoon. Results 'take 2 weeks'.
Suggest go home meantime.
He's currently on high dependency bed but they wants to take telemetry off & walk down to cafe. I asked what sort of activity level next 2 weeks - 'normal' - 'go on holiday if you like'. I mentioned we have a holiday to Malta booked next Weds & Consultant said: 'up to you'.
REALLY ??
