Pulmonary Edema treatment in Coatzacoalcos

If difficulty breathing appears along with swelling, it is worth seeking medical care, since what is called "water in the lung" refers to the buildup of fluid in or around the lungs, which hinders the normal exchange of air.

What it is: The fluid takes up the space that should hold air, so breathing becomes more labored and oxygen arrives with greater difficulty.

Common symptoms: Shortness of breath that worsens when lying down, rapid breathing, a sense of suffocation, cough, and tiredness.

Which specialist treats it? The pulmonologist focuses on the lungs and the cardiologist evaluates when the heart is involved; the internist coordinates a first evaluation. When difficulty breathing is progressing, seeing a professional without delay makes it possible to identify the cause and address it.
