Can increased water consumption cause pulmonary edema?

No: Not unless you have heart disease.

Depends : You couldn't drink yourself into pulmonary edema if you had a normal heart and kidneys. It would be virtually impossible. If you have heart failure, however, or kidneys that are not functioning normally, then definitely you can get pulmonary edema from too much water consumption. The same goes if you take too much salt and have abnormal heart or kidney function.

Yes: Very likely to happen if you have heart failure or kidney failure. If you have a normal heart and normal kidneys, other problems develop before pulmonary edema.

Probably not: As long as the heart and lungs and kidneys are performing normally, pulmonary edema shouldn't occur. If congestive heart failure is already present, then excessive fluid intake can cause pulmonary edema.
