Hi, I believe I have pericarditis due to cat scan and primary said so but cardiologist did noyt say for sure what it was but did no firther tests to determine. Fam doc put me on steroyds,,, twive and came back each time. Cardiologist wanted me to take motrin or alege but I have colitis and it disrupts my system. Do you have any further insite you could share with me. Maybe I should get another oinion? I felt horrible last night and the room was spinning while my heart has twitching and hurting....did not know what to do, esp when I broke out into a bad sweat? I am tired of this.

Summarized question: What are the symptoms of pericarditis?
