Hi,
I read your query and I would like to say that you have Pericardial effusion.
This is best treated with NSAI- drugs such as advil, indomethacine ect.
All the other findings are quite normal and you don't need to worry.
If after a month of treatment the pericardial effusion is at the same level or symptoms are the same than you need to do further examinations.
Wish you health!
