A member asked:

I would like to know how rare, if it actually is, myocarditis? i'm a little scared of it. should i be worried when i get fever or something?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rare: post viral myocarditis is rare. You don't need to worry about it with just a fever. If you have persistent shortness of breath and fatigue sometime after an upper respiratory infection that you can get that evaluated
