Can anyone let me know, What are the Symptoms of Pericardial disease?

Hi there,

We have some information surround heart health on the talk health website so feel free to look at these:

I have attached a link below for the NHS website for Pericarditis. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pericarditis/
Although with the potential symptoms we would recommend you contact a healthcare provider directly.
Always call an ambulance if you have severe chest pains

Thanks

Chest pain: This is one of the most common symptoms of pericardial disease. The pain is often sharp and worsens when lying down or taking a deep breath.

Shortness of breath: Pericardial disease can cause fluid to accumulate in the pericardial sac, which can put pressure on the heart and make it difficult to breathe.

Fatigue: Pericardial disease can cause fatigue and weakness, especially if the heart is not functioning properly due to the pressure from fluid buildup.

Swelling: Pericardial disease can cause swelling in the legs, feet, and ankles, as well as the abdomen.

Palpitations: Some people with pericardial disease may experience an irregular heartbeat or palpitations.

Fever: Pericardial disease can cause a low-grade fever in some cases.

Dry cough: In rare cases, pericardial disease can cause a dry cough.
