Sorry for the late response. As far as I know ER can only offer antibiotics and steroids and draining fluids if the accumulation is significant. I cant have neither. Steroids have nearly killed me the first time I tried. Antibiotics are out of question as well. That leaves acupuncture and homeopathy. I recommend you start with homeopathy. Most practitioners now work via zoom. First consult is usually free. Here is some information, but please work with a practitioner.

  1. Latrodectus: This homeopathic remedy used for heart disease with symptoms of precordial pain in the body.
  2. Aurum metallicum: Aurum metallicum is used in treating symptoms of weakness in the muscles of the heart.
  3. Aconitum: This Homeopathic Remedy is used when a person is having a heart attack.
  4. Spigelia: Spigelia is used in the treatment of irregular heartbeats which may cause sharp pain in the chest.
  5. Cactus grandiflorus: This Homeopathic Remedy is used in treating angina pectoris, which is characterized by symptoms of pain caused by decreased blood flow to the heart.
  6. Crataegus oxyacantha: This homeopathic treatment is used in treating coronary insufficiency in people. This disorder cause problem in a heartbeat.
  7. Digitalis: This homeopathic treatment is used in treating cardiac muscle failure. This disorder causes palpitation, tightness in the heart muscles, and a suffocating sensation.
  8. Kalmia latifolia: This Homeopathic medicine is effective in treating cardiac hypertrophy, which causes the heart muscle to thicken, resulting in size reduction of the ventricles. This treatment is very effective in treating cardiac hypertrophy that results after rheumatism.
  9. Glonoinum: This homeopathic treatment is prescribed to treat symptoms of plaque buildup in the artery, which causes hypertension

Hi Marina, When mine hit, I felt a lot of pressure around my heart, and it was quite scary with arm, shoulder and neck pain included. I kept breathing in my H2O2 through my compressor nebulizer, and it seemed to diminish somewhat but moved to my left flank, with the feeling of gurgling, as it drained down the left flank, only hurting my left kidney and what feels like my pancreas when I took a deep breath or coughed.. I was in Thailand at that time and had an MRI but it did show that I had pleural effusion, and mild pericardial effusion.. I have had about 4 attacks of the Pleural effusion and it is also very painful and makes breathing very difficult. But I bought a compressor nebulizer and prepared a mixture of food grade H2O2 3% down to 1.5% for my nebulizer.. and it took away most of the pain and so I was able to breathe once again.. I am back in Canada, I need help. My family wants me to go to the emergency to be seen by a doctor, and I may still go, but my experience with doctors has not been good, and now I am older and afraid they might bully me into a biopsy when the underlying condition could be cancer.. however, I also have lupus, sojgrens and other autoimmune diseases, that may be attacking these organs. I am scared.

If anyone has a remedy to get rid of the Pericardial effusion and the Pleural effusion, please let me know. I am also taking 3 tsp of ACV and a quarter tsp of baking soda a few times a day, which does seem to help and make me feel somewhat better. I am thinking of flying to Mexico to a wholistic clinic that has experience putting even stage 4 cancers into remission, but do not know a good clinic, if someone can help me that would be great.. thank you so much for this amazing site that has pulled me through many an illness in the wee hours of the morning.. including killing Covid in its tracks after suffering for over 3 weeks a few years ago.

pericarditis is an inflammation of the pericardium. Pericardium effusion is a fluids accumulation in the pericardium. The cause could be from autoimmune to malignant and everything in between. It was incidentally found during abdominal ultrasound for flank pain that I have small pericardium effusion. Depending on the cause and progression it could be life threatening and must be monitored carefully. Fluids are normally tested, but I refused the procedure.

Hello, Wayne of Tyngsborough, Ma;

You may find this interesting.

Dr. Axe has an article on fluid around the heart {PERICRDITIS) and the problems that come along with it. It also has some suggestions.

https://draxe.com/health/pericarditis/

EXCERPT :
"3. Fight Viruses and Infections

You can use the following natural remedies to protect yourself from viruses, bacterial infections and fungal infections — which can make pericarditis worse and even be an underlying cause:

Use oregano oil either topically or internally, which acts as a natural antibacterial agent without causing harmful side effects. Oregano oil also has the power to help treat viral conditions, reduce inflammation and relieve respiratory symptoms that are caused by allergies.

Antiviral herbs can help build your body's defenses against infections and contributing health problems. These include: wormwood, black walnut, oregano essential oil/capsules, garlic, bentonite clay, activated charcoal, and grapefruit seed extracts. Herbs may help treat infections and attack viral pathogens, plus they offer cardiovascular, digestive and anti-inflammatory support during periods of illness.

Adaptogenic herbs like rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) and astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) can be very helpful when it comes to supporting immune health and helping you deal with physical and mental stress or fatigue."

My Down Syndrome boy:

I have a boy, age 20, who has fluid around his heart. It has been drained once but came back. Any remedies?

He also has terrible skin cyst and pimples all in hot spots under his arms and butt and between legs.
