Is Pericarditis Get Aggravated By Alcohol Consumption?
Hi recently got diagnoses with Pericarditis. I m coming up to My 3rd week and feeling better. I was wondering what affect alcohol will have on me now I have suffered from this condition. I usually only drink. On weekends but have about 10-12 beers on either a Friday or Saturday. And my second question I had joint pain (all over body knees, ankles, elbows) for about a month before and couldn t get to the bottom of it would that have something to do with the Pericarditis
