Pericarditis is often caused by a viral infecion, my late husband had it 3 times, (blue light to hospital because of suspected heart attack as the symptoms are similar).

My main sypmykms are a crushing chest feeling after about three hours asleep which wakes me up and then stays with me until I sit up or stand up the most intense pain I have ever felt weird.
With pain that intense I would be either ringing your surgery for advice or getting myself off to A & E.
Gp saw me this morning with the results from ECG and drag that's when I was diagnosed I will see how it goes for the next week . Sleep for two hours then woken by mad stab pains in chest
