A member asked:
If diagnosed with pericardritis, should i limit activity and does this put me at any increased risk for heart disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: First you need to get your pericarditis treated and in remission before you worry about limiting activity causing worse heart outcomes long term. The treatment for pericarditis includes cessation of all exercise (as it revvs up your adrenergic system) and is counterproductive to treating pericarditis. only normal acitivies of daily living allowed till pericardial pain in remission, otherwise
