10. Lyme Carditis
Lyme carditis is a condition where the offending bacterium has managed to infect the patient’s heart. The inflammation causes the heart to become inflamed, and this can impede the electrical signals that help to ensure the heart is beating steadily. The symptoms of this condition are often quite mild, but they can be more severe in some cases.
Symptoms caused by Lyme carditis include light headedness, difficulty breathing, palpitations, and pains in the chest. There is a chance that this can be serious for the patient so it should be treated as a serious condition. The heart should hopefully make a full recovery once the underlying cause has been addressed.
