What Should I Do For Asthma And Chest Pain For Which I Have Taken Ibrufen And Is This Pericarditis?

Hi, I'm a 18 year old male. I've been feelings pretty bad for months now. To make it short, I went into the ER because my breathing was really bad knowing that it was asthma. They had done a EKG (not sure if I said it right) because I said I had chest pain too. Now they are suspecting that I have pre- pericarditis. I was given ibuprofen for reduce swelling around the heart and also some inhalers with abuterol in them. Now I've been feeling super weak and very weird and also my stool is very very watery. I get even weaker when I use the bathroom.

It almost feels as if I'm about to... die. I'm not too sure. I just feel that bad! What should I do?

hi
i am not sure about the treatment given to you
you see, ibuprofen should be avoided in asthamatics
you can check the internet for the same

i wish you would have uploaded the ecg
then we could have given a diagnosis better
because ecg also shows changes in asthma
that may resemble cardiac conditions

assuming that they were able to read the ecg correctly
you should get an echocardiography and chest x ray done'
this will help you evaluate pericarditis-
whether you have it, and if you do- how severe

as for your loosestools,
you should try high fiber diet and take good amount of fluids
and get a cbc and stool routine tested
a blood culture may sound frivolous, but may help

with frequency of micturition and feeling of generalized weakness
i would also suggest fbs and ppbs to be tested

i am sorry i cant give you any direct answers now
do let us know with the results of the tests above
and we will surely try to help you further
I find this answer helpful
