Symptom #10: Chest Pain
Patients suffering from a coxsackievirus infection may complain of chest pain. This is a non-specific symptom associated with many conditions. It is not a common finding in the usual coxsackievirus infection but it is known to happen in rare cases.
Coxsackievirus may cause a condition known as myopericarditis. This is the inflammation of the membrane that covers the heart which is known as the pericardium. The virus can also affect the muscle cells of the heart. As the inflammation spreads, symptoms like shortness of breath and chest pain appear.
