Well, I don't have it, but my mother died with that as the primary
cause of death. Have you done a search on Pericarditis? Here's a link
from the Heart Association:
http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4683
It talks about some of the causes and treatments. Hope it helps. I
know that my mother had it for years before she died (she had numerous
other problems, so don't think you'll be dying within a couple of years
okay?).

Some people have a bout with this and it goes completely away. Others
have bout after bout. I belong in the last group! I've been told that
there are many reasons for it. And the treatment is basically the same
as other inflammations. Mainly I just take the pressure off that area
and move on! Yes! It hurts!
Take care,

I got a virus that attacked my heart last January and left me with
congestive heart failure. My suggestion is to find a good cardiologist
and do whatever he/she says.
