10 Endocarditis Symptoms
Symptom #9: Chest Pain
A pain in the chest is often associated with a heart attack, so it is something that can be quite alarming. It is not always something that is so urgent, however, and there are various things that can cause such a pain. One potential cause of chest pain is endocarditis.
The pain in these cases is likely to be felt the most when the patient breathes in heavily. While endocarditis may not necessarily be an immediate urgency, it should still be treated as a serious condition. If you have any doubts at all, then get the patient to an emergency ward without hesitation.
