Is there a difference between pulmonary edema and sinus congestion?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Lungs vs nose: Pulmonary edema is "wet lungs." this is usually related to congestive heart failure. Sinus congestion is related to nasal stuffiness and sinus blockage.

YES!: Sinus problem needs attention soon, pulmonary edema is a very significant problem that warrants attention immediately. Best of luck.
