Also, heart failure and chest pains are known to occur. Heart problems caused by Lyme disease are rare Heart problems caused by Lyme disease don’t often happen, and therefore, are difficult to recognize by doctors. [innatoss.com]

Patients may experience light-headedness, fainting, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, or chest pain. [cdc.gov]

This can cause sharp chest pain that increases with deep breaths or lying down, compared to sitting up. Over time the pericardium can thicken and adhere to the heart muscle. [everydayhealth.com]
