A couple ofyou might know that I have been worried about myocarditis recently. Thats a viral infection of the heart muscle if you were unaware. I've convinced myself that I will soon die from this, a sudden death, like a few people I've read about. Healthy people, with their futures ahead of them. Perfectly fine, until they come down with flu like symptoms, a few dies later they drop dead. The virus attack their heart, causing some sort of arrhythmia that causes sudden death.
Since friday I've had a low grade fever, muscle aches, and a lack of appetite. These are my only symptoms, you'd think I would have developed a cough, or maybe a runny nose by now, but nope. Just a fever, muscle aches, and no hunger what so ever.
I've been to the hospital twice since friday, today I went they took a blood test checking my heart, did yet another ecg and everything came back clear. my body still aches and this fever will not go away, I'm getting little sleep, my shoulders are killing me. I know my death is soon. I talked to the doctor and he said myocarditis is extremely rare but I can't grasp that. I can see myself so much in the people I read about, I have almost the exact same symptoms as some of them, Just a slight fever and muscle aches, lack of appetite. Boom, out of no where dead.
The doctor tried to explain to me that dying this way is similar to winning the lottery, I still can't overcome this fear. but i've exhausted everything I can do, I've tried to get tests done in order to prevent something like this happening to me, to give myself some kind of reassurance. The only thing I'm assured about is that I will die soon at 22.
Is it possible to have a virus that just causes body aches, low grade fever and lack of appetite and thats it? Something doesn't feel right, ,I feel like my number is up.
I'm scared of death, please help.
