I have myocarditis from rhuematic fever. i've developed arrhythmias and severe chest pain. what medication can help? what can i expect from doctor?

Myocarditis: Lifestyle changes such as consuming a low-salt diet and not drinking alcohol may help in the management of myocarditis. Antibiotics help treat the bacterial infection causing myocarditis. Corticosteroid drugs may be prescribed to reduce inflammation of the heart wall. Specific medications to control arrhythmias and heart failure should be discussed with a cardiologist.
