Dr. Howard Shapiro answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Nephrology & Dialysis

See MD today: Problems (including infection) involving structures in your chest, including the pericardium (the lining around the heart) can cause these symptoms. You need to call your doctor this morning and have the problem evaluated and treated promptly. Untreated, the problem that caused these symptoms may have serious consequences.
