Pericarditis
I have seen a doctor and after having an ekg i have been told i have acute pericarditis. I know that smoking is bad for my health overall and that is not my question. My question is will smoking 1 to 2 cigarettes a day seriously aggravate my pericarditis or stop it from healing at all? Thankyou.

First of all you should stop smoking irrespective of whether you have pericarditis or not. Second is you should get an 2D echo done to confirm whether actually you have pericarditis or not.
