Have another medical question

[Guest guest]

Has anyone been diagnosed with pericarditis since wls? I've had it three

times since wls, the first time almost three years ago, then again about

two months ago and again this week. Tim had to call an ambulance for me

at 2:00 in the morning. The chest pain was so excruciating, we both

thought I was having a heart attack. Was in the ER all night on

morphine. Docs wanted to admit me but my cardiologist is not affiliated

with this hospital and I really wanted to go home and be seen by my

doctor. Went to see him a few hours later and had an echocardiogram done

which definitively showed pericarditis. Am now on painkillers and was

ordered to rest. Doing the best I can in that department.

Everytime I get sick, someone always blames the wls for my medical

problems and I know one has nothing to do with the other, but just

curious if anyone has developed things post wls. Prior to wls I never

had a problem with my heart. Now have SVT and have been medicated for

this for three years now. Just trying to get a grasp on things. Feeling

very defeated right now.

Thanks
