Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I take medicine regularly to control it, the effect isn't obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medicine. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of pericarditis are?Doctor's answer:
Common symptoms mainly include chest pain and difficulty breathing. There may be difficulty breathing, fever with night sweats, cough, sore throat, vomiting, loss of appetite, and jugular venous distension. Early treatment is beneficial, and short-term hormone therapy may be used if necessary. Fever and chest pain usually occur simultaneously, along with other uncomfortable symptoms such as dry cough, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, restlessness, and hiccups.
