You are wise to proceed with pulmonary function testing as that is the “gold standard” for establishing the diagnosis of emphysema/COPD.
Regardless of the results of PFT’s I sincerely hope that you will make every effort to stop smoking and never smoke again. In that case the doctor’s statement on emphysema will have served as a valuable wake-up call.
My grandma went to Stat-care Easter Sunday and they sent her home with Bronchitis. Maybe a few weeks prior she had repetitive oral thrush. April 17, 2017 she was light-headed, tired, spitting up pink sputum and had a headache. She was taken to the ER. Chest x-rays were clear. They treated her for pneumonia? That evening we were on the phone and she started having trouble breathing. By the next morning she was on a ventilator which was doing 100% of the work. She was alert just confused.
It's very important he urinates. If he goes more than 3 days without urinating, his kidneys are going to shut down and he's going to get pulmonary edema, which is basically when you aren't getting rid of any fluids they just build up in your body especially in the lungs. Each scenario is fatal unless you go to a hospital. Even if he only urinates a tiny bit, he's still at risk. Take him to the ER.
Can pulmonary edema develop and cause death in 15 minutes? My father went in for removal of a pollup on his colon that wasn't cancerous. The surgery was on Wednesday. On sunday, he died from what the hospital is saying was pulmonary edema. This just doesn't make sense. Please help us understand what this is.
For a perspective, pulmonary edema (water in the lungs) and pneumonia are separate issues. Pulmonary edema is usually related to LV dysfunction. It appears the underlying problem is the mitral valve sclerosis (narrowing of opening) and mitral valve regurgitation. The valve problems can stress the heart and cause it to enlarge, and/or an ischemic enlarged LV can aggravate the valve problems especially MVR.
Yes, it is possible your brother could have had pulmonary edema. I had congested (pulmonary edema) heart failure. With that I had a severe dry cough, choking feeling, hyperventilation when reclined. Sitting up gave relief, but my pulmonary edema was classified as mild...I wouldn't wish a severe case on anyone!
Antibiotics is ineffective for pulmonary edema. A strong antibiotic for pnuemonia should have helped.
Symptoms (shortness of breath with/without exertion, pulmonary congestion, cough, peripheral edema, palpatations (af), chest discomfort, extreme fatigue), as well as a previously undetected murmur prompted an echocardiogram in July '08. Echo indicated "severe mitral regurgitation" and "moderate pulmonary hypertension." Repeat echo in August indicated only "moderately-severe MR", moderate AR, mild pulmonary hypertension, and mild atrial enlargement.
drug overdose especially narcotics, high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) and neurogenic pulmonary edema, such as after a seizure. Yours could have been a response to the anesthetic or other medicines or to aspiration. It would be good to check if aspiration occurred, and what medicines you were given at the time of surgery, including the anesthetics, for your future safety, should you again have to be anesthetized.
As I said on the previous post I cannot help you it need an expert response .,have you checked out the pediatric heart forum ?
My cat has been recovering from what is believed to be Pulmonary Edema. He has been taking 5mg of Frusemide and Synulox twice a day. This seems to have made him so much better and the rapid breathing (60 per min) he was experiencing before decreased to normal levels whilst on this medication. Today though, it seems to be elevated to 47 per min and looking very pronounced. Why would this be? He is due back at the vet on Tuesday. Should I wait until then or see them earlier?
Have you been tested for Asthma or had a pulmonary function test? You could have exercise induced asthma. Do you have high blood pressure? Do you have any dizziness,headache, fatique, or heart palpitations? Does your heart race at all? Are you overweight or underweight? Any joint symptom as well? Have you also had a chest xray? If there is anything you can think of that is differant or had changed please add that as well. I hope I can help you or give you some ideas.
I had pulmonary edema due to heart failure, and I was in ICU for several days to removed fluids and stabilize the oxygen level to normal. I have completely recovered going on 7 years.
Thanks for your questions, and if you have any further questions or comments you are welcome to respond. Take care.

QUOTE: "The question was fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion)? did you mean the heart or chest cavity because they are two totally different things".
thanks he believes it might be right heart failure due too increase volume overload valves r ok he just had echo we believe post operative he had pulmonary embolism that resolved with anticoagulants n might caused the right heart failure though no dyspnea anymore n bilateral ll edema was only there for 2 days that was like 5 weeks ago
Hi,all tissues in the body need a constant supply of water and nutrients that is exchanged by tiny holes in small blood vessels called capillaries which is reabsorbed and sent venously back to the heart also the lymphatic system helps pickup smaller waste that gets left behind,water buildup in the lungs is called pulmonary edema and can be caused by heart disease due to insufficient venous return from the lungs back to the heart,also infection or inflammation in the lungs affecting the exchange
I have had all the symptomes RUQ PAIN with swelling in feets edema ......but sometimes it goes for no reason ...I had an abdominal ultrasound which does not revealed anything wrong ..I asked the radiologist to specifically check for any abnormality in the liver ..but he told everything is normal.I then had a cbc and LFT which revealed 0.05mg/dl increase in bilirubin with 20plus high ALP THEN NORMAL.What should i do next ?should I ask my gastro to have fibroscan?
a left-to-right cardiac shunt (a hole between chambers), pulmonary artery hypertension, COPD or emphysema, pulmonary embolus, pulmonary edema, left ventricular failure....the above conditions relate if the pulmonary artery pressure during systole (pumping phase) is 20-30 mmHg, diastolic (resting phase) is 8-12 mmHg and a differential diagnosis with other tests, clinical evidence and symptoms.
I was diagnosed with a systolic murmur and pulmonary regurgitation. My question is what is this? Is this considered to be heart disease? Is it serious? Also th swelling in my toes and fingers at night, could my heart murmur be the cause of that?
sometimes this prevents me from walking.What is the reason for this?
