Gastric bypass is a type of weight loss surgery that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine. It changes how your stomach and small intestine process the food you eat. After the surgery, your stomach will be smaller, and therefore, you will feel full with less food.

That said, gastric bypass surgery procedure is one the most common types of bariatric surgeries. It is an option for you if your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or higher. It is usually done when diet and exercise fail to help obese individuals lose excess weight or when they have serious health problems because of their weight, including heart disease, GERD, high cholesterol, type-2-diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, etc.

Types of Pericarditis

  • Acute Pericarditis: Inflammation of the pericardium that develops suddenly but doesn't last longer than four weeks.  
  • Chronic Constrictive Pericarditis: Inflammation of the pericardium that develops slowly but lasts for three months or longer.
  • Recurrent Pericarditis: Inflammation of the pericardium that occurs about 4 to 6 weeks after a bout of acute pericarditis. No symptoms happen in between.
  • Incessant Pericarditis: Inflammation of the pericardium that  lasts about 4 to 6 weeks but less than three months.

    • Symptoms

    Pericarditis symptoms, depending on its type, may include the following:

  • Sharp and stabbing chest pain 
  • Pain in your back
  • Dry cough 
  • Palpitations 
  • Fever 
  • Anxiety 
  • Fatigue 
  • Swelling in your feet, legs and ankles

    • Causes

    In most of the cases, the cause of pericarditis is hard to determine. This is called idiopathic pericarditis. Some of the common pericarditis causes include:

  • A complication of a viral infection
  • A bacterial infection, including TB
  • A fungal infection
  • Injury to the heart or chest, such as after a car accident
  • Kidney failure 
  • Cancer
  • Rheumatoid arthritis

    • Risk Factors

    Some of the common risk factors associated with pericarditis include:

  • Heart attack 
  • Open heart surgery 
  • Radiation therapy

    • Complications

    Although when treated on time, the risk of developing pericarditis-associated complications are rare. Some of the complications of pericarditis can include:

  • Fluid buildup around the heart, also called pericardial effusion. The fluid buildup can lead to further heart complications.
  • Thickening and scarring of the heart lining, also called constrictive pericarditis. 
  • Pressure on the heart due to fluid buildup, also called cardiac tamponade. This is a life threatening condition.

    • When to see a doctor

    Many of the symptoms of pericarditis are like those of other heart and lung conditions. Therefore, it is important to be thoroughly checked by a specialist if you experience pain in your chest.

    Prevention

    There's no specific way to prevent pericarditis, but you can take these steps to prevent infections, which might help lower the risk of heart inflammation:

  • Stay away from people who have a viral/ flu-like infection
  • Regular hand-washing can help prevent spreading infection

    • Diagnosis

    Your cardiologist may use a variety of ways to check for pericarditis and any complications associated with the condition. You may need one or more tests, such as:

  • Chest x-ray
  • Electrocardiogram 
  • Echocardiogram
  • Cardiac MRI
  • CT scan 
  • Cardiac catheterization 
  • Blood tests

    • Treatment

    Depending on pericarditis causes​ and its type, most times, people with pericarditis only need pericarditis medication for the treatment. However, if you have a fluid buildup in your pericardium, you might need to have the fluid drained.

    Medical Management

    In case of acute pericarditis treatment, you may be prescribed medication for pain and inflammation. Depending on the cause of your pericarditis, you may need an antibiotic or antifungal medication, or a steroid treatment.

    Surgical Management

    As mentioned, when fluid builds up in the space between the pericardium, it can cause a condition called pericardial effusion. If the fluid builds up quickly, it can cause cardiac tamponade, a medical emergency that can be a life-threatening event, especially if the fluid is not drained immediately. During pericardiocentesis, your cardiologist uses a long, thin tube called a catheter to drain the extra fluid. Echocardiography or a CT scan helps guide the catheter and a needle to your pericardium.

    However, if the fluid cannot be drained with a needle, a minimally invasive surgical procedure called a pericardial window will be performed. During the procedure, the cardiologist will make an opening in the pericardium through a small chest incision to drain fluid from the pericardium.

    In case of constrictive pericarditis, a surgery called pericardiectomy is performed, as part of which some of the pericardium is removed.

    Lifestyle Modifications

    When dealing with any heart condition, it can be beneficial to make healthier lifestyle changes. There are many ways patients can implement healthier lifestyle choices after a pericarditis treatment or even diagnosis. This includes:

  • Quitting smoking
  • Remaining active
  • Eating a balanced and healthy diet
  • Drinking less alcohol
  • Managing stress

    FAQs

    Pericarditis is inflammation of the lining around your heart, which causes chest pain. It's not usually serious, but it can sometimes cause serious health problems. For medical management of pericarditis, schedule an appointment with our team of best cardiologists in Noida.
    Depending on the type and pericarditis causes, you should respond to treatment within a week, but you could be on pericarditis medication for two weeks. However, recovery from surgery takes longer. It can take weeks or months for a full recovery from pericarditis.
    While acute pericarditis lasts less than four to six weeks, chronic pericarditis lasts more than three months. For acute pericarditis treatment or chronic pericarditis treatment, schedule an appointment with our specialist.
    If you have pericarditis, you might feel discomfort sleeping on the left side, and experience shortness of breath when lying flat. You may sleep better in an elevated bed position. A heating pad or warm compress on the chest may also help to ease the pain and discomfort.
    If you have been diagnosed with pericarditis, it's important to avoid strenuous activity of any kind until you have no signs of active inflammation.
