When It Happened Again

After her first pericarditis flare, Carly Pearce didn’t have all the answers. When it happened again, she tried to push through but knew something wasn’t right. She couldn’t ignore it anymore; she had to speak up and ask more questions. After being misdiagnosed multiple times, she learned to trust herself and be the advocate her heart was telling her she needed to be, and listening to her heart was the first step.
