Check w/your doctor: You need to be followed closely by your doctors. The fluid around your heart is unlikely to be related to the thyroid cancer, but there is no way to diagnose it conclusively without an extensive evaluation.

Likely not related: Severe untreated hypothyroidism can be a potential cause for fluid around the heart.You should be receiving levothyroxin after total thyroidectomy. If levothyroxine dose is appropriate based upon the clinical lab testing, thyroid disease is not the cause for the Fluid around the heart.
