Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Our son was diagnosed with Myocarditis. After a short hospital stay in which many tests were done along with a heart catherization we were told that a virus had settled in the muscle of the heart. He was provided a beta blocker, also anti inflammatory Ibupro. and his work schedule decreased due to the inflammation. Does this virus take a long time to go away. Are you familiar with this?
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns. Viral myocarditis usually tends to resolve within a couple of weeks but he should refer to his doctor to add a prescription of an antiviral medication such as Acyclovir.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
