I was standing making copies and all of a sudden I started having neck,shoulder,and chest pains all at the same time and then a shortness of breath that was increasing and getting more painful to the point I was not able to walk a normal pace so I had to take baby steps. When got to the hospital I was not able to lay back flat or bend over frontwards due to the severe pain I was having.All types of test were done ekg catscan,stress test and as a result I was diagnosed of having fluid build up in the the sac surrounding the heart which medical field calls Pericardium. Prior to the date I’ve had perfect health to be 54 years of age.and the strange thing I had no prior sytems leading up to the problem.
