I have hypersensitivity myocarditis, it's caused by 2nd-hand tobacco smoke. Found out when in my late 20's and a light smoker at the time. It started with small a amount blood residue when I blew my nose (not a nose blead), with radiating pain/tightness in the back of my neck that then spread to behind both of the shoulder blades. This caused me to feel very tired and after it coming and going a handful of times I figured out that it was it was always after smoking at the weekends, so I gave up smoking and had no symptoms for a couple of years. Then I started being around heavy smokers and sleeping at their homes for convenience after a night out. The symptoms started again. Was not very worried because after 2 day everything would go back to normal. However, in 2017 a habitually non-stop smoker moved into my block and the residual smoke come into my living space, i could not smell it, but the hypersensitivity myocarditis went into a new more dangerous prolonged phase. I made a big mistake and thought it would not do much damage but was wrong. I did not know it but my septum became stiff and I had septal hypokinesis, and was fainting on exertion after two years, my hearts electrical system had been compromised. Had I moved out it could have saved what happened next but brain fog stopped me from thinking clearly as blood flow had been reduced to my head. The electrical fibers in the heart known as Purkinje fibers were dying, they don't regenerate, this continued until I had a bundle branch block on the right side and left side of my heart. By this time I was severely ill. Fainting even at rest and dangerously low heart pulse rate, low blood pressure. Had to have a pacemaker.
