When To See a Doctor
When symptoms of fluid in the lungs develop quickly, a person should seek immediate medical attention. Significant shortness of breath, breathing difficulties, wheezing when breathing, profuse sweating and a bluish tinge to the skin and lips may indicate fluid in the lungs requiring emergency medical intervention.
Confusion or a major drop in blood pressure that causes dizziness, lightheadedness and weakness are also indications that medical care is necessary. A person whose pulmonary edema symptoms suddenly worsen should also obtain medical care.1‘Pulmonary Edema.’ Mayo Clinic, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pulmonary-edema/symptoms-causes/syc-20377009
