If there is pericardial fluid (fluid in the sack around the heart) it could be concerning if it increased in size quickly. the fluid you are talking about may be in the lung. If you have fluid around your heart you should be evaluated by a cardiologist.It may be that the high heart rate is unrelated but it certainly be evaluated also.
