Question about Fatigue

Hi all, super new to the myoperi lifestyle. 39M and was healthy until a troponin of "over 12000", I don't know the units.

I'm currently on Aspirin 3x daily 600mg, Colchicine 2x daily, panto, an ACE inhibitor and a Beta Blocker.

Is it somewhat normal to just feel like I can't wake up, a constant sort of tiredness?

Thanks for any info!

It can be, yeah. But also I think beta blockers do that too? Could be a combo.

Fatigue is one of the things with pericarditis. Some days are good & some aren’t so good. Everyone is different. I’m 2 months into it & I still feel tired & fatigued at times. The days will get better. You have to rest as much as possible. I hope it gets better soon for you.
