Fluid around the heart (a cups worth!)

Hello,
I needed a little infomation regarding... Fluid around the Heart. I can't at this time remember the diagnoised name (Cardio?????).
Is there anything you can tell me about this condition. I was admitted into ER with what was said to be symptoms of Congestive Heart Failure. THe EKG was OK but X-rays showed that fluid was deposited in between the heart and the sack.
I'm 35 years hold and had a BABY two months ago. The Dr. has ruled this as a virus of somesort and I'm taking endocin(meds) for the inflammation. The fluid is still present, a cup full.
Is this a rare occurrence?
What types of stresses/activites would cause damage?
What types of test (i.e. stress test,etc.) can I take to asure
I can continue with my daily activities (I work outside the home)
Any additional general information that you have would be helpful.
Thank you for you time.
