Following the surgery which was robotic I suffered terribly for the first two years with periodic pericarditis. My heart doc at home finally figured out a combo of medicines that calmed it down, and as long as I stayed on them and didnβt exert myself to much physically during that time it went away after 3 weeks to a month.
Fast forward to Covid vaccine which I got at my cardio docs advice and boom there was the pericarditis again. I started the meds immediately and after a couple of weeks it subsided and then after the 2 nd it came right back. Same deal, did the meds and stayed quiet, my doc said no more vaccines for me because since the initial introduction of the vaccine itβs been discovered to trigger pericarditis. Ugh! I am having another incident now, not sure what triggered it, but it stinks! I am grateful that I have not had this problem for a long time, but I would love to speak with someone on this site who does.
