Patients with [[pericarditis]] commonly present with [[chest pain]] that changes with position, [[cough]], [[fever]], [[breathlessness]] and [[fatigue]].
[[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]].

==Common 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.

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]
