Better ways: The condition you described is due to congestive heart failure, which is due to decreased the efficacy of heart a pumping device which causes fluid to back flow to lung.
Then treatment is to support heart such as using acei, and beta blockers at some point. Meanwhile we can decrease the heart's load by using diuretics and get rid of extra fluid from the system. Also will restrict fluid and salt.

Your cardiologist would be in a better position to give you an assessment.

Rash with itching ?

Question 10

Accepted Answer

A number of things: When fluid accumulates in the spaces around the lungs (pleural spaces), this is called a pleural effusion.  There are a number of causes for pleural effusions.  One cause is heart failure.  When the heart does not work well, its pumping action is decreased and fluid can back up into the lungs and the spaces around the lungs.  Another cause might be inflammation of the lungs (as with pneumonia).
