Asking for Self, Female, 29 years old, Canada
2 weeks of sharp chest pain, worse on respiration and when lying down. Diagnosis of acute pericarditis based on symptoms and crp level of 27.5 but no fluid, effusion or rub heard. Ecg presents sinus tachycardia but all other results within normal range. Cochlicine was given but due to bad reaction, aspirin is being taken. Is there any other tests drs should give to rule out other issues or any other medicine/advice?

yes need to see ECG Echo n other blood test ..continue meds
By far the most common cases of acute pericarditis are idiopathic followed by viral. If you’re asymptotic with aspirin do a follow up echo after a week and full blood count with esr and repeat crp. Hopefully everything will be settled by then. Don’t hesitate to communicate after the work up.
Correction: Do not hesitate
History is typical of acte pericarditis, take rest and NSAIDS. Other than aspirin you can take Brufen or naproxen. What was reaction with cholchicine?
