Behavioral Symptoms
Along with the feeling of air hunger, a person with fluid in their lungs may exhibit behavioral changes, such as anxiety and/or restlessness. They may also be less alert than usual.
People with fluid in the lungs usually receive emergency treatment that helps alleviate these symptoms. Administering oxygen through a face mask or ventilator is commonly necessary. Diuretics may help eliminate fluid in the lungs, but treatment of the underlying condition is necessary to resolve the symptoms.2‘Pulmonary Edema.’ MedlinePlus, U.S. National Library of Medicine, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000140.htm
