Hello,

I am a distance runner who was diagnosed with pericarditis ~3 weeks ago. My CRP then was over 60 and my EKG had mild effusion.

I’ve been taking 1,800 mg ibuprofen daily, plus colchicine 0.6mg 2x/day.

Now, CRP is <3 and EKG looks normal. My doctor said I should stop taking all meds but still not exercise for 3 months. I can’t help but think this defies guidelines. Thoughts?
