I’m a 60 yr old female with a very active lifestyle, a runner, a hiker, a kayaker, a dancer, and it turns out that I started experiencing all these pericarditis symptoms two days after the first Pfizer vaccine, when I went to the UC doctors said there’s no way the vaccine would give me pericarditis but I had it!! 7 weeks now and the sharp pain, the shortness of breath, pain on my chest and radiating to my arm, and not to mention I easily get tired is the worst. I wish I come across a doctors who is really knowledgeable like the ones on this video. 😢😢

I was diagnosed with this in 2000, age 25. I've never felt 100% well since. In 2011 I then was diagnosed with a large pericardial cyst, which was aspirated . Chest pain has been a problem ever since . It's debilitating & ruined my life. I wish I could visit the Cleveland clinic . Excellent analysis, thank you for sharing.

I have been complaining about this to doctors since 2014, the chest pains, shortness of breath, pain when taking deep breath, pain that radiates to my left shoulder and back, like all the symptoms of an heart attack and I am now just getting diagnosed with pericarditis. I hate it and it can be.miserable at times

I showed my doctor this video and were planning to try this out. Thanks for the help!

I've had it twice, once in a tenth grade, and once in my mid-twenties. I don't have any long-lasting after effects, but that was one of the main reasons I didn't take the thing.

Diagnosed New Years Day following severe chest pain when laying down. Colchicine, ibuprofen and occasional codeine. Feel great so far. All meds well tolerated. What a disturbing title to a video.

You will put in deep depression those who suffer from pericarditis !
