Cough syncope is classically described in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and it is quite rare to find a treatable condition for the same. However, it is extremely rare to have cough syncope due to pericardial effusion. We present a case of pericardial effusion who presented to the intensive care with cough syncope.
