A member asked:
My father have fluid in his lungs but he has stop taking medication. what are the side effects of not taking medication. can it lead to lung cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lung fluid worsening: Your father needs to go see his doctor to discuss why he stopped the medication- was he having side effects, too costly? Whatever the case, his doctor may be able to offer him an alternative so the fluid in his lungs does not get worse to the point where he has difficulty breathing. If the cause of the fluid has not yet been determined, he should also discuss diagnostic tests with his doctor.
