Symptom #9: Heart Complications

If something goes wrong with our hearts then it can be really quite alarming. While many complications of the heart do not present an immediate danger, others can, so they should always be treated as an emergency. Heart problems can arise with chikungunya but thankfully they are not likely to be particularly dangerous and the fatality rate is very low.

Chikungunya can cause an inflammation of the muscle of the heart. This can be dangerous for the very young, the very old and the very weak. Regardless of the suspected condition or cause, heart problems are always something that should be taken very seriously.
