What Is Pulmonary Edema?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
8. Anxiety
Pulmonary edema can be a very scary condition, and it can lead to the patient developing anxiety. It can be very difficult for them to relax, and this may also be down to the underlying cause rather than the pulmonary edema itself. In some cases, the patient can also find that their skin turns cold and clammy.
In many cases, the patient’s heart will also begin to pump more rapidly, and it can also become irregular. Again, this is often down to the underlying cause of the problem rather than the the pulmonary edema. If somebody does develop these conditions suddenly and without explanation, it is wise to get medical assistance.
