Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
All your symptoms (Heaviness in chest, breathing difficulty, pleural effusion) are suggestive of heart diseases.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
