HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern such symptoms may not be due to pericarditis but this could be due to some nonspecific symptoms, if this rheumatic disease condition then this need to be treated accordingly to prevent the cardiac event and I guessed this must have been to you, hope this information helps, take care.
