Hi. I have been suffering with pericarditis for 5 months now. My cardiologist has advised me to take Aspirin, initially 3x day. And currently when needed. He did say i could try a short course of prednisone for 5 days, but everything i have found on pericarditis & people suffering from it says that it dosnt really help, and the side effects are worse. I find the more i do, the worse i get. Is there anything else i could try? Im getting desperate...i would like my life back :(

Summarized question: What is the treatment for pericarditis?
