👉 Pericarditis is a type of inflammation that occurs in the lining of the heart's cavity, known as the pericardium. It can occur due to various causes such as infection, injury, or mechanical stress on the heart muscle. This condition can cause pain and discomfort, swelling, and often leads to symptoms like chest pain, fever, weight loss, and difficulty breathing. Treatment typically includes antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, and sometimes surgery if necessary.
