"I'm 39 years old and was in a car accident when I was 16, resulting in 16 surgeries. I didn't have anything specific happen to my heart, but I had a lot of damage to that area (broken ribs, bleeding liver and kidneys, and collapsed lungs). Within a few months, I started having severe pain in my heart and after several trips to the ER, I was diagnosed with pericarditis. It's inflammation of the sac that holds the heart and feels like a heart attack 24/7. My treatment over the years has been 800 mg ibuprofen every 4 hours and colchicine. Within 12 hours, my flare-up begins to get a little better and by day three of taking the medication, I'm almost back to normal. I haven't had any upset stomach issues or weird side effects. My toes are a little tingly, but I can handle that... can't handle the feeling of having knives going into my neck and chest with an elephant sitting on my chest. I only take this medication when I have a flare-up every 6-12 months."
