26.y.o.my echo showed something called pericardial trace.it said insignificant amount of pericardial fluid.doc said not worry.is it serious?

No it is not: serious and your doctor is correct. You should not worry. It is often a normal finding to have a little bit of pericardial fluid to lubricate the heart within the pericardial sac.
