Symptom #3: Shortness of Breath

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.
