What Causes Muscle Soreness In Heart Area?

My Dad just told me he has sore muscles in his heart area for the past four days....it goes away when he lays down. 2 months ago he went in for a heart stint and proceeded to have multiple strokes and the only effect was a slight drooping on one side of his mouth. He has been doing his cardio rehab 3 times a week and has felt great until now......he was brought up as a Christian Scientist and spending time in the hospital is very difficult for him......any ideas of what this muscle soreness......

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hi,

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that muscle soreness can be there because of pericardium infection which relieved by lying supine. It's recommended for you to consult a Cardiologist personally for physical evaluation and for antibiotic therapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap,
Cardiologist
