10 Pulmonary Edema Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Pale Skin
Pale skin is an unusual lightness of your skin color compared with your normal skin color. In cases of pulmonary edema, pale skin is caused by reduced blood flow and oxygenated blood due to an impaired functioning of the lungs because of fluid accumulation.
Generalized paleness with sudden onset and the presence of other signs and symptoms should make you seek immediate medical help. It could be a heart attack, pulmonary edema, or some other serious and life-threatening health condition.
