The more sensitive troponin testing has helped in making a diagnosis for these type of inflammatory myocardial conditions versus other causes of chest pain. Did you have much myocardial involvement? What is bad for these young people is that they have myocarditis. All of them are going to have some degree of heart muscle involvement. Only time will tell how much and if it will shorten their lives. Truly sad indeed considering they gained nothing for the risk other than being able to virtue signal.
Not really, no. My left arm started to tingle; the feeling went to my forearm and up my neck to around my jaw. Obviously with that, you'd really start to worry. The whole experience was surreal, from them wheeling me into a bay to laying in the recovery room after the catheter lab, and before I got a room.
That is good. Your condition was more of a pericarditis with some myocardial involvement. I imagine it was not a good time for sure. Thank God you were diagnosed and treated quickly. Glad you didn't have any lingering issues. This experience allows you to empathize with others going through the same thing - especially the kids. Stay healthy fren.
Thank you, fren.
