What Causes Extreme Sleepiness When Diagnosed With Pericardial Effusion?
At least once a day, when I am sitting quietly, I will feel extremely sleepy. My eyes will roll back if I try to keep them open. After a few minutes the feeling passes and I am fine. I have pericardial effusion. Could that have anything too do with it? YYYY@YYYY

Hello Dear. Pericardial effusion doesnt seem to be the cause of your drowsiness. I hope you are under treatment for pericardial effusion.
There are chances that the medications you are taking for heart condition may be causing drowsiness as side effect.
