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).
Viral infection is the most common cause of acute pericarditis and accounts for 1-10% of cases. The disease is usually a short self-limited disease that lasts 1-3 weeks and can occur as seasonal epidemics, especially coxsackievirus B and influenza.
