Mr. G talks in short bursts with frequent breaths. He tells you he used to feel breathless when he was walking, but now he has been having more and more trouble breathing even when he is lying down at night. When you listened to his lungs you heard fluid in them. Could this be due to his heart failure, or is it another problem?
It is a disease called Pulmonary edema which is caused by the filling of the alveoli by fluid leaking out of the lungs , breathing difficulty is the main manifestation of pulmonary edema
