1. Do you have any suggestions on anything that may help with vaccine-mediated myocarditis?
Wrt to vaccine-induced myocarditis, as mentioned by others, you should get checked out by a cardiologist.
Most cases in young, healthy patients like yourself do very well with conservative therapy (rest), but when it involves the heart, you can't be too careful. In a few years, whatever exorbitant amount of money you are forced to pay to get checked out properly won't mean anything, and besides, you'll likely be rich if you continue to follow the TI way of investing.
Rare effects of vaccine-induced myocarditis include dysrhythmias and significant myocardial damage, although these are less likely in your case given that some time has passed since you initially developed symptoms and you are well enough to get on this forum to type.
Initial treatment often includes some combination of ASA, +/- beta blocker if there is evidence of systolic or diastolic dysfunction (I am assuming you understand all these terms given your pharm. background), and in severe cases, prednisone or prednisolone. If it's really bad, you are admitted to hospital and monitored on telemetry for some time. NSAIDs are also sometimes used in cases when patients are fairly healthy and don't have co-morbidities like pre-existing renal damage or severe hypertension, etc. (as you know, NSAIDs often worsen those conditions).
On a different note, I generally don't recommend you try any new supplements in the setting of a new, acute diagnosis of any sort. It muddies the picture . . . generally, if you want to try a new supplement, wait until you're back to your "baseline" of health, whatever that may be. Supplements may be very helpful if used properly, but they carry their own risks, as I am sure you are aware.

P.S. Never, never, ever, listen to your parents, except in rare cases when they make sense. So, like, never.
