Pulmonary Edema
Pulmonary Edema is a medical condition characterized by excess fluid accumulation in the lungs. This fluid buildup can interfere with normal breathing and gas exchange, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, and a feeling of suffocation. It can be caused by various factors, including heart problems, high blood pressure, or exposure to certain toxins.
Treatment for Pulmonary Edema often involves addressing the underlying cause, such as managing heart failure or reducing fluid intake. Medications like diuretics may be prescribed to help remove excess fluid from the body. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary for more intensive care and monitoring.
