If anyone has an intrest regarding this matter,please post a message. I am aware of no support group for pericarditis. Very rarely, patients can have recurrent pericarditis, which can be treated with medications. More commonly, doctors refer to chest pains that are not caused by coronary artery disease as pericarditis, but this is really an inaccurate use of the term. I hope this information is useful.
