Q: I am suffering from constrictive pericarditis. What should be done and what is the solution? My haemoglobin is also low. So please suggest me what to do?

A:Depending upon your 2D Echocardiography and clinical findings, you may require surgical intervention (Removal of constricting pericardium). You haemoglobin may be low because of the etiological cause of constrictive pericarditis and can be managed medically.
