If you need to ask a question like this on the internet, I actively hope you flunk out of medical school. I don't want there to be any possibility that my life might someday be in the hands of someone who couldn't do their own medical homework.
Or, for that matter, of someone who confuses the letter o with the digit 0.

What will happen if excessive fluid collects in the pericardial sac?
If too much fluid (more then 200 ml) builds up in the pericardial sac, a condition called cardiac tamponade may occur. This is a condition where the fluid build up is so great that is pushes on the heart and constricts it. The heart is not able to pump hard enough to supply sufficient blood to the body. The symptoms of cardiac tamponade include Beck's triade: Jugular vein distention (enlarged neck veins), muffled heart sounds, and narrowed pulse pressure (systolic blood pressure, the first number in a blood pressure, decreases, while diastolic blood pressure, the second number, increases). If not treated the patient will eventually go into shock because the heart cannot pump effectively. In this case the physician must perform a pericardiocentesis, in which he or she inserts a syringe into the pericardial sac and draws off the extra fluid.
