Myocarditis: To assess for myocarditis you need an echocardiogram to see if there is inflammation around the heart muscles. Palpitations are not really specific, and you should get an EKG to assess the underlying electrical activity of the heart. If palpitations are more spaced out I suggest wearing a holter monitor, which can detect underlying atrial fibrillation, PVCs, which cause palpitations.

? tests: Your symptoms are all bothersome but not specific for myocarditis. To diagnose myocarditis, you must have specific abnormal blood tests and echocardiogram.

Symptoms: your symptoms are more likely to be due to other things than myocarditis. See your doctor to be evaluated and be sure to get an explanation of what the doc believes the problem is and how to treat it.
