==Overview==
[[Patients]] with [[pericarditis]] commonly present with [[chest pain]] that changes with position, [[cough]], [[fever]], [[breathlessness]], and [[fatigue]] are the other common [[symptoms]]. Less common [[symptoms]] include [[palpitations]], [[hiccup]], [[odynophagia]], [[Syncope|faint]], [[dizziness]], and [[abdominal pain]] which is seen mostly in [[children]].


==History and Symptoms==
==Common Symptoms==
A diagnosis of pericarditis can be made depending on its etiology and speed of onset. For example, both uremic and tuberculosis induced pericarditis develop more slowly and can be undetectable until presenting "as a fever of unknown origin." On the other hand, both bacterial and viral pericarditis develop rapidly and can present as increasing "pain over several hours."

===Symptoms:===
*[[Chest pain]] is the most common [[symptom]]. It often radiates to the [[back]] and is relieved by sitting up and leaning forward and is worsened by lying down. [[Causes]] of [[pain]] include [[inflammation]] of the [[pericardium]], [[phrenic nerves]], and the nearby [[pleura]]. The [[pain]] is often initially sharp in [[nature]], but it can be described as sticking, dull, [[aching]], or [[pressure]]-like. Deep [[inspiration]] and [[cough]] can increase the [[pain]] so that the [[patient]] may sit upright for relief.
# [[Chest Pain]]: however, pain is often absent (depending on the type of pericarditis e.g. rheumatoid pericarditis).  It is the most common symptom.
*[[Cough]] (either [[Dry cough|dry]] or [[Productive cough|productive]])
#* Some causes of pain include: inflammation of the pericardium, phrenic nerves, and nearby pleura.
*[[Fever]]
#* Quality of pain: sharp, "sticking", dull, aching, or pressure-like. It can be rated anywhere from 1-10.  In the beginning stages, the pain usually starts out as sharp.  "Inspiration and cough" can increase the pain so patients usually "sit upright for relief."
*[[Fatigue]]
# Nonproductive [[cough]] that elicites pleuritic pain
*[[Anxiety]]
# Productive [[cough]], which usually occurs in the presence of other illness(es)
*[[Breathlessness]]
# [[Hiccup]] (rarely)
# [[Odynophagia]] with or without [[Dysphagia]]
# [[Faintness]] and [[Dizziness]] (uncommon unless [[cardiac tamponade]] is present]]
# [[Chest wall]] [[palpitations]]: causing local tenderness and may be indicative of [[costochondritis]], [[Tietze syndrome]], or [[rib fractures]] (in cases of traumatic pericarditis)

*[[Pain]] along the [[trapezius]] ridge(s), when [[Presenting symptom|present]] is very characteristic of [[pericarditis]]. The [[pain]] of [[myocardial infarction]] tends to involve the [[anterior]] [[precordium]] with [[radiation]] to the left [[arm]].
*[[Palpitation]]s

*[[Odynophagia]] with or without [[dysphagia]]
*[[Faintness]] and [[dizziness]] (uncommon unless [[cardiac tamponade]] is present)

Overview

Patients with pericarditis commonly present with chest pain that changes with position, cough, fever, breathlessness, and fatigue are the other common symptoms. Less common symptoms include palpitations, hiccup, odynophagia, faint, dizziness, and abdominal pain which is seen mostly in children.

Common Symptoms

Common symptoms of pericarditis include:[1][2][3][4][5]

Less Common Symptoms

Less symptoms of pericarditis include:[1][6][7]

Rapidity of Symptom Onset

The rapidity of symptom onset may provide insight into the underlying etiology of pericarditis. For example, pericarditis associated with both uremia and tuberculosis develops more slowly and can be undetectable until it presents as a fever of unknown origin. On the other hand, both bacterial and viral pericarditis develop rapidly and can present as rapidly increasing pain over several hours.[8][9][10]
