I have had constant chest pain since being diagnosed with myocarditis in May 2016. My report mentions mild heart scarring and possible pericardial thickening. I would like to know if this chest pain is something I will always experience from now on?

Mild scarring may cause occasional discomfort, but persistent chest pain needs evaluation. Follow up with a cardiologist is advised.

These are my report results, and my sodium level is 148. I experience excessive mucus in the morning and at night, chest pain, and bubble like sputum coming through my nose. I also feel tired, and my blood pressure is high. What could be the reason for these symptoms?
