In addition, if the trachea and bronchus are compressed, the patient will have cough, hoarseness, dysphagia and other symptoms.

The main symptom of acute pericarditis is chest pain. The chest pain of patients is generally manifested as stabbing pain or knife cutting pain. The pain will radiate to the neck, shoulder, jaw, back, abdomen and arm.

However, not every patient with acute pericarditis will have symptoms of chest pain. The severity of pain depends on the type of acute pericarditis.

In acute pericarditis, pericardium is prone to scar adhesion and calcification. For a long time, the patient's pericardium will form a strong and thick scar tissue, which will strictly limit the patients' cardiac contraction and diastolic movement. The symptoms such as pale face, dyspnea, restlessness, dizziness and fatigue, edema and even shock were caused.
