Avatar m tn Doctors described it as accumulation of water/fluid in my lungs. They also noticed water in my ankles. I became alright in 10 days after having some pills accelerating urination culminating into ousting water out of the lungs. But the problem persists as I grow the same problem after 15-20 days and I have dry coughing. What could be the possible cause?

Avatar f tn When I was a child, the doctors noticed some water in my lungs and had to get it drained. Way before the draining, I have choked on liquids (as people do sometimes) but I almost drowned in a pool once and inhaled a lot of liquid. I was fine after the drowning incident though. I was pulled out and I coughed a bit and that was it. It's been like 10 years or so now since the doctors drained my lungs and from time to time I still choke on small amounts of liquids.

Avatar n tn We breathe those in all the time but our immune system fights them off. Those enemies are in water droplets in the air and will not only enter the lungs if someone is laying down, this would be impossible unless the droplets had controllable propulsion systems. If the immune system is run down because the resources are very busy dealing with something else, such as another illness or repairing the body after traumatic surgery, then the pneumonia will begin.
Avatar n tn When the heart fails to pump a sufficient amount of blood received from the lungs, blood backs up into the lungs and fluids leak into the lung tissues. My conditon was ischemic related (occluded vessels), and that condition caused hypokinesis (heart wall movement impairment). Effective therapy was to revasculate the vessels with a stent and medication.
Avatar n tn What is the procedure for removing the fluid out of the lungs, if any?
Avatar m tn I had to be in the hospital for a few days to reduce fluids and normalize the oxygen level in the lungs. Breathing problem was enough to get me in ER.
Avatar f tn My water broke at 36 weeks ma son weighted 5lb 8oz stood in da nicu for a month
Avatar f tn Was just recently put on Lasix in past week because of problems with fluid in lungs, and have been taking it religiously every day. My weight is the same, but I can't take as deep of a breath as yesterday, I'm slightly wheezing, and I can feel fluid come out of my throat with every little cough. This feels exactly how it felt when I was first diagnosed with CHF a month ago. Is it possible to have fluid filling your lungs but not gain weight?
Avatar n tn One day this summer, I had flem with blood in it. I got a chest x-ray, and CT done in July to rule out anything fatal. Everything came negative, lungs were perfectly normal. Soon after, I was diagnosed with cough variant asthma. I think I've always had asthma before but I just recently started taking pulmocort. I am 27 year old female, quit smoking a year and a half ago, only been smoking for 6 years, and only smoked between 2-8 cigarettes per day.
Avatar m tn The underlying cause is the heart is not strong enough to pump all the blood/oxygen received from the lungs and blood backs up in the lungs and fluids leak into the lumg tisssues . Treatment would be to determine the reason for the weak heart. Fo r examble, a left ventricle (pumping chamber) may enlarged due to overwork...reduce the workload (usually high blood pressure) with medication and that can return the heart to normal size and the heart will have stronger contraction. .
Avatar n tn MY dad just had his heart by pass on 1st august n more than a month is over but still he has water in his left lung doctors say that now they have to remove the water by injections but he does'nt wants to have this treatment can u tell me some medicine or some other cure for it plz as soon as possible!
Avatar m tn if the blood is in your throat, it can be that at night as you're lying flat on your back the mucous is pooling in your throat. Maybe the blood is coming from your throat? You know, before I had my sinus surgery, I had a lot of mucous coming out of my nose and going down the back of my throat. The infected mucous irritated my throat so bad, that my adenoids were quite swollen. The ENT thought at first that was where the problem lies, and booked me in for surgery to get theme removed.
Avatar n tn t pump out into circulation the supply of blood received from the lungs causing blood to back up into lungs and fluids leak into pulmonary tissues. The condition will cause a violent dry cough, choking, feeling of not getting enough oxygen...some relief when not lying down, but sitting up. I had mild pulmonary edema, severe edema must be the same as drowning! Pneumonia is the inflammation of the lung tissues and coughing phlegm would be an expectation, but edema is a dry cough.
529862 tn?1216607670 That "smoke" you saw was not actually smoke. It was the result of compressing the air in your lungs that is heavily humid. The higher pressure that you created when you "contract my stomach or lungs" caused the air to become denser and thus caused the water particles in your breath to be large enough to be visible. You can see this same effect when you pump up a BB gun and fire it without a BB in the chamber.
Avatar n tn I had a pain in my chest and went to the dr about it. I felt like it was a bowling ball in my lungs then. It felt like my chest was heavy and pulling me down (may have litterly been my chest full of milk, not my lungs, but it felt serious) He gave me x-rays, an asma test, and even a CT Scan to see if it was a blood clot in my lungs.
Avatar n tn Dark grey or brown matter can be old blood or blood that has reacted with acid in your stomach. There is a possibility you have bleeding gastric ulcer or esophageal varices. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food. Consult a gastroenterologist. Take care!
Avatar n tn My son accidentally poured some water into his Advair discus. Since this medication is so expensive, and he has 43 doses left, I don't want to throw it out. I spoke to 2 pharmacists who couldn't help me, so I treated it like a wet cellphone, putting it in rice after wrapping it in a paper towel (to keep out rice dust). I left the mouth hole open since that's where the water was poured in. Has anyone had this experience and found something that worked?
Avatar n tn If it felt like rice crispies were popping in your lungs, then it's most likely pneumonia. That symptom can come and go, it doesn't have to be constant. Rattling in the lungs when you're sick isn't a good sign, even if it's not pneumonia, and you need to see your doctor very soon or go to urgent care, especially if you get a fever.
437079 tn?1222438840 Infiltrates on a xray usually means that the air sacs are filled with fluid, cells, bacteria, or other substance. Pneumonia is an example , also fluid build up from CHF (congestive heart failure) can present as infiltrates from what I remember. I know that there are other reasons. What did your doc say Diva? Again keeping you in my thoughts..
