[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9451553, member: 85555"] I think with mild pericarditis, it just means it goes away without use of serious medications, surgery, etc. Someone with medical knowledge may be able to weigh in. I am pretty sure the pericarditis I had was mild but am not 100 percent sure because they gave me a megadose of ibuprofen or some other pain reliever (and not sure if that is considered medical intervention if it had anti-inflammatory effects). To be clear, this wasn’t from Covid or the vaccine, it was years before the outbreak and most likely related to a chronic immune issue, an infection or medication I was taking for the immune issue. But the symptoms were quite alarming. the closest I have felt to it in terms of pain and difficulty breathing is when I broke a rib (just to give you a sense of symptom severity). And it is inflammation of the sac around your heart so not something to take lightly. I will say when I got my second shot for the vaccine I felt similar symptoms that went away on their own but no idea if it was pericarditis again or something else (I felt uneasy going to an ER during the pandemic so just rode it out). But it could have been anything. If there hadn’t been a pandemic I would have probably gone to the ER or my primary care doctor [/QUOTE]
