Chronic Pulmonary Edema Symptoms
Some people experience fluid in the lungs over a long period of time, which is known as chronic pulmonary edema. Breathing issues may develop when they're lying flat or engaging in physical exercise. They may experience shortness of breath or coughing that awakens them at night, and the symptoms may be alleviated when they sit up.
Other symptoms may include wheezing, a cough that worsens over time, fatigue and swelling of the lower extremities. Some weight gain may also be noticed.1‘Pulmonary Edema.’ Mayo Clinic, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pulmonary-edema/symptoms-causes/syc-20377009
