I have had a slight heart murmur since I left the service, and here recently I was experiencing chest pains when I breathed to the point of having to see my Dr. he diagnosed me with pericorditis. and said I need to take motrin , and that my valve was leaking worse .Is this likely to go away?also could this have been brought on by stress or a virus?
Hi Joe,
Pericarditis, is an inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart, the pericardium.
It can be caused by a number of things including a virus or infection. In some cases it will resolve in 2-3 weeks. It an also be a chronic, long-term, condition though.
Ask your doctor.
