Can patients with myocarditis drink boiled water?

Patients with myocarditis can drink plain boiled water.

Myocarditis is an inflammatory condition of the heart muscle caused by various factors, and patients often experience symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, and fatigue. During treatment, patients should pay attention to their diet to promote recovery from myocarditis. Water is fundamental for maintaining normal body metabolism and blood circulation, which is beneficial for heart function. Plain boiled water can replenish body fluids and help reduce the burden on the heart. In contrast, patients should avoid consuming excessive amounts of beverages containing stimulants such as caffeine, alcohol, or sugar, as these substances may worsen the symptoms of myocarditis.

Patients with myocarditis can and should drink plain boiled water, but they should also control their water intake and ensure the safety of the water quality. Although water is important, excessive consumption can lead to electrolyte imbalance in the body, particularly reduced sodium ion concentration, potentially triggering or worsening edema in patients with impaired heart function. Therefore, patients should adjust their daily water intake according to their individual condition and follow medical advice.
