Pericarditis Auatralia 18 th Dec 09
by: Dennis on Mon, Dec 21 2009

I was sitting at my work station when I started to feel I had indigestion , I drank some soda water & some Zantac without success the chest pain was constant, I was concerned I was in early stages of having a heart attack , I decided to go see my local doctor as I had heard of persons thinking they had indigestion & not seeking help then suffering a major heart attack . Tests were done & it was decided I should go to hospital,I was admitted & spent overnight where I was diognosed with Pericarditis & was prescribed asprin . Thinking back I can remember when sleeping & turing on my sides I felt some discomfort in my chest & once I returned to lying on my back the discomfort disapeared , I feel this may have been the beginnig of the onset of Pericarditis .
