Chronic pericarditis often causes tiredness, coughing, and shortness of breath. Chest pain often is absent in this type of pericarditis. Severe cases of chronic pericarditis can lead to swelling in the stomach and legs and hypotension (low blood pressure).
The chest pain also may feel like pain from a heart attack. If you have chest pain, you should call 9â1â1 right away, as you may be having a heart attack. Some people with acute pericarditis develop a fever. Other symptoms are weakness, palpitations, trouble breathing, and coughing. (Palpitations are feelings that your heart is skipping a beat, fluttering, or beating too hard or too fast.) The most common symptom of chronic pericarditis is chest pain.
