A member asked:
Can you have myocarditis if you havent been ill i read infections or viruses cause it ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It can be a mild viral infection - you may just feel out of sorts or sluggish. It probably happens much more often than we are aware as it is usually is self-limiting and doesn't come to medical attention. Serious heart damage may well start this way but is the unfortunate 1% who come to our attention.
