What Is Endocarditis?
3. Common Symptoms
Endocarditis will come on very suddenly in many cases. In others, it can be a far more gradual process. This will depend largely on the exact cause of the condition and whether the patient has any existing heart conditions. Not all patients will experience the same symptoms, but certain symptoms are commonly associated with the condition.
Many patients will feel symptoms that are similar to the flu. They can also feel fatigued and experience difficulty breathing. Chest pains are also a common symptom, and the patient will also likely feel aches and pains. Night sweats are also likely, and the patient may also experience swelling.
