Pulmonary Edema
Pulmonary edema is the accumulation of fluid in the lungs, which hinders the normal exchange of air and, therefore, breathing. It can set in rapidly and represent a situation that requires prompt attention.
Common signs:
- difficulty breathing, especially when lying down
- a feeling of suffocation or shortness of breath
- cough and marked fatigue
When is it urgent? If the shortness of breath is severe or sudden, it is a situation that warrants immediate attention.
Its workup may fall to the pulmonologist, the internist, or the critical care specialist, depending on the case and its cause. Faced with significant breathing difficulty, it is not advisable to wait: seeking medical evaluation in time is the most prudent way to clarify the origin and provide follow-up.
