  • Pericarditis
    Pericarditis refers to inflammation of the pericardium
    The pericardium is a sac within which the heart sits. This sac has 2 layers- known as the visceral and parietal layers separated by a potential space which contains about 10-50mls of fluid. Acute inflammation of this sac is known as acute pericarditis. If the inflammation spreads to the surface of the heart itself, it is termed myopericarditis.
    About 5% of patients who present to A+E with chest pain which is not deemed to be a heart attack or angina are ultimately diagnosed with pericarditis.
    Why does this inflammation happen? There are a multitude of causes and the most common causes depend on which part of the world you are in. In developed countries the commonest cause of acute pericarditis is a presumed viral infection. Common viruses that have been identified include Parvovirus B19, EBV, CMV, Herpes Simplex Virus etc) In developing countries, common causes of pericarditis are TB and HIV. Other common causes of pericarditis include bacterial infections, kidney failure, rheumatological conditions such as autoimmune conditions/vasculitis (SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis) and even cancer (mesothelioma; spread from other tumors). Also recent cardiac surgery and a recent heart attack can present with pericarditis.
    How does it present?
    It may present out of the blue but quite often it may present after a flu like respiratory or gastric illness.
    Pericarditis is characterised by often quite severe chest pain but it is usually reasonably easy to distinguish from anginal pain because in pericarditis,the pain is very sharp and actually catches the breath when a person tries to breath in. it is made worse when the patient coughs. It is characteristaiclly better when someone sits up and leans forward. This is because this position reduces the pressure on the paricardium. Pain is a feature in over 95% of patients. It is very prevalent in patients with an infection but may be not as painful in patinets with renal failure or rheumatological problems. The pain may radiate to the the trapezius ridge.
    One of the things that is very helpful to make the diagnosis of pericarditis is to listen to the heart is the presence of a pericardial friction rub. The 2 layers are both inflamed and as the heart moves within the pericardium these two layers rub against each other and can produce a scratchy or squeaky sound that can be heard by an experienced doctor. The absence of a rub does not exclude the possibly of pericarditis but the presence makes it very likely that that is what you are dealing with. To hear it your doctor should get you to lean forwards and hold your breath or even get you on your hands and knees and listen while you are in that position.

    I was diagnosed with pericarditis in 2004. Mine was caused by sepsis associated with iron toxicity. I had sepsis for 6 months until it was diagnosed. Whenever the infection spread to my heart, it caused scar tissue, which led to me having atrial tachycardia.
    I hope nobody has to go through this, and none of you have to go through doctors mistreating you even though you tell them what's wrong and they won't listen to you. It's horrifying. Like you know you're dying, and you know your body is telling you, you tell the doctors what's going on and they just keep neglecting your symptoms.
    Not all doctors are this way, but the ones who are traumatize patients, and sometimes they traumatize them for life.
    Here I am in 2021, and they're doing the same thing to me while I'm septic again. Strangely enough, the infection started in my throat again. What are the odds? Crazy stuff for sure.

      @@aliciamilam5636 Thank you so much, Alicia! I am a naturopath and I'm aware that those natural substances rid the body of infection, but the fact that you want to help says a lot. Thank you. (:
      I started taking oregano oil (250mg) 3 times daily, and 000 capsules filled with ground, organic ginger several months ago. It worked for me, so I'm still here. Praise the Lord. 🙌✝️
      According to the evil, satanic, occult medical establishment of gang members we commonly refer to as "doctors", I have liver cirrhosis, spondylitis, congestive heart failure, 6 hernia. I was supposed to be dead by the end of 2020 according to the murderous gang members who in their oath swear to have the power to give and take life, (yes, this is the 4th line of their modern oath of you're not aware), but I've treated everything without ever seeing a single doctor and I'm still here.
      I was jaundice for 3 months, cured it with taurine, regular dosing of vitamin C, pure milk thistle extract, MSM and lots of rest.
      I'm telling you this so that in my completely transparency, (even when "doctors" gave me no hope to live), it will encourage you or somebody else to take their health into their own hands, or encourage a sick family member they love and want to help. 🙏❤️
      So so many are given no hope, but there's always a better way to heal the body, and that's not through allopathic medicine. Holistic, naturopathic medicine is DEFINITELY the way to go. 👍👍

Since then I have felt flutter for about 2 to 3 beats (only twice since June 21st.) but also for 1 heart beat I have felt something strange really quick and then it's gone. My Pulse rate was 33-34 bpm and now it's set for 65 bpm. Thank you for all you do

      What does the pain feel like? I recently recovered from COVID and it's been on my mind as I've been having very random chest and back pains all over the place that comes and goes, sharp and dull. Troponin came back normal but it feels wrong.

    • @zerolefty1907

      @@ljot1 The pain feels like an intense pain that radiates in my chest and down my arms and neck which can be both dull and sharp pains. I don't really know how to explain it but its like an uncomfortable tightness in the chest which can vary day by day. I got a lot of palpitations and shortness of breath too, have you experienced this? I have also experienced a lot of tiredness and generally feeling unwell which my cardiologist said can happen with myocarditis. My troponin has fluctuated too, up to 6500 and down to 400 whilst I was in hospital. I would recommend getting your troponin re-checked as troponin takes a little bit of time to present itself in the blood just to be on the safe side if you're still having pain. Thank you so much for your message, I hope you feel better soon too and if there's anything else you want to ask then please do :)

    Very useful to me! I had a pericarditis 3.5 years ago, following about 3 months of rhumatoidal pains (first, then they went away with natural products), then low fever all the time (even ibuprofen would not lower it completely), and a constant cough. I had a few intense chest pain a few times, but no real pain in general. My doctor and me were thinking of a pneumonia, but the treatment didn't really do anything. I lost 20 pounds, because I was not hungry, slept a lot. Finally, my wife told me: you're going to the hospital, you're too sick. In fact, the morning I went to the hospital, I did 15 minutes walk on the treadmill without much effort. They made a scan of the whole upper part of the body and found liquid around the heart (years after, I looked at the report, and then I got afraid: 2.6 cm thick of liquid!). They sent me to a cardiology department in Montreal where they eventually found out that it was cause by a Sjogren (similar to lupus, for people who are not familiar). One funny thing: I was 10 days in the hospital and they made a lot of tests, and many electrocardiograms. One day, I asked one of the doctor: you made a lot of electrocardiograms and you never gave me the results? He said it's because they were always good, because my heart cavity is big enough to let the heart pump without restriction. Good for me! But the inflammantion (PCR) was over 300! The cure was easy: they started prednisone at 50mg/day and then lowering it gradually over a period of roughly 2 months. 3 days after the beginning of the treatment, I was back at my normal activities (with care...) and the energy levels were up to almost normal. What I retain from your presentation is to really chek for symptoms if it ever comes back. Althought I am followed by a specialist for the Sjogren, I don't see him every week. So, it's good to know in advance just in case. I had that when I was 70 years old. Thank you again for this advice, it might be life saving for me!

She was talking about the plaque build up in arteries indirectly caused by tooth decay. They found that erythromycin reduced the plaque in arteries. Wondering if you have had experience of this as a treatment to reduce the plaque and inflammation. Since visiting cardio recently I decided that I wasn't going to take Apixaban and Beta blockers. Hence my reason for subscribing to your site. I am finding supplements of magnesium potassium vit c and zinc and chlorella. Have incorporated coriander turmeric garlic ginger chillies beetroot into my diet oily fish and start my day with a glug of extra virgin olive oil and eating a whole fresh lemon (occasionally red grapefruit). I am on the road to recovery feeling good but know there is still a bit to do yet. A big thank you for shining the light of truth into the medical world. Good Karma will surround you always

    I was diagnosed with pericarditis many years ago at the age of 20 but I now strongly suspect it may instead have been a Takotsubo episode.

    you have entirely changed my understanding of my hypertension, you dont know that, but you have changed my life because of your advices, i no longer use medication, my BP drops from (150/100) to (126/88), by quitting smoking, consuming more potassium, and brisk walking 30 min every day
    AND i need your advice, my Avg morning is (126/91), but at night its (117/75), should i be concerned??

    Thanks for this info! I’ve recently been diagnosed with this thanks to an ST elevation reading. I’m on colchicine but I have this on and off numbing dull ache that occurs randomly on the right side of my torso. All blood tests and ultrasound’s have come back normal, as has the ecg of my heart. No clue why this pain is lingering…… it’s been almost month :-(

    Thank you for your video. I just had pericarditis with >2cm pericardial effusion two weeks ago. During my hospital stay, a Subxiphoid Pericardial Window procedure performed and with chest tube placed. 300 ml of fluid with color of "coke" was removed during surgery. I have been on high dose aspirin and colchicine since discharge but still experiencing significant short of breath while climbing stairs. Is it too soon to have constrictive pericarditis at this point?

    Hi Dr Gupta, I was told back in 2003 i had pericarditis. They based this on my ecg. I was supposed to echo but wanted to get out of hospital. I remember the episode well i woke up with a crushing feeling in my chest and then passed out. Got to hospital they did chest x-ray and bloods and said heart enzyme was slightly raised. I've been given a clean bill of health since. I was once told you can tell on a future ekg that someone has had pericarditis...is that true? Is it possible that carbon monoxide poisoning could have caused this?
    This episode has caused me to develop cardiophobia
    Thanks

    Thank you Dr for all that information, it’s sad that for some one like me who is suffering from pericarditis go through a lot of pain and anguish because some doctors have sent me home telling me that it is just muscle spasm and after two visits to the emergency with severe pain they find out that it is pericarditis and that the symptoms were all there! I hear pericarditis is rare but the symptoms should be a clue to some doctors. BTW My first symptoms developed two days later after my first Pfizer vaccine and when I mentioned this to one of the doctors he said that it was impossible that the vaccine would give me such side effect. 😢

    Hello Dr. Gupta I have been watching your videos for quite a while and was wondering if you could provide me some insight so I may find some peace of mind or if I should be pushing my doctor to test me further. I’ve had two recent episodes of SVT and both times they self resolved without medication, my doctor believes it was due to stress. However, being a paramedic I asked to look at my ECG and after I had converted back to a NSR it said I had a non-specific intraventricular conduction block. I understand that this is similar to a RBBB or LBBB but it’s not specific however I’ve read on AHA that this type of block leads to increased sudden death and cardiac mortality. I was hoping you could provide some information to explain exactly what has caused this or what is going on because I am completely lost and my doctor only explained it as “your QRS’s are just wide”. Thank you!

    I need some advise. I've had both legs below the knees and my feet be swollen for 8 months. Have a darker color where swollen and the longer I'm on my feet, the feet began to feel like they on fire and soles get hot and dark red. Went to 2 doctors (GP & Spine Orthopedic)and neither would look at my feet. Had ultrasound- clear. Also I am diabetic- insulin resistance, have chronic cervical/lumbar DDD. Also RLS. I have no clue of what specialist I need to see. I have chronic pain in joints all the time. Seriously lost for what to do. Any help is appreciated.

    • @gloriamaryhaywood2217
      @gloriamaryhaywood2217 3 роки тому +2

      My first inclination would be to find other doctors who are willing to listen to what you're saying, and to at least look at and address the issue of your lower legs and feet swelling!! At the very least it shows your body is retaining fluid and not able to filter and drain away any excess fluid. Could easily be a lymph-node issue or an issue with your heart, ect.
      Good luck to you!

I'm a 22 year old male who has been diagnosed with benign ectopic beats, which I feel EVERY time 😂 I have had two episodes where these have been related to breathing, specifically when I reach the top of my breath, I get an ectopic every time. Any ideas why this may be, could it be something malicious?

    Of note Pericarditis is a common harmful event related to the Pfizer Cv19 “vaccine”. Both my 27 year old daughter and 30 year old son had it. She after one dose, he after the second. Hers took around 2 weeks to resolve, and she did not get the second. His resolved over a week, though the pain was severe enough that he went to the emergency room, with a mild increase of Tryponon. . Interesting discussion.
