A member asked:
Help please! could dental work cause pericardial effusion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Dental treatment does not cause excess fluid to collect around the heart. Viruses are the main cause including hiv. Other causes include heart attack, kidney failure, cancer..Please see your md if you have symptoms like shortness of breath, clammy skin, nausea or chest pain.
