Pulmonary Edema - Know More About It!

Dr. Mool Chand Gupta95%(37146 ratings)

MD - Pulmonary, DTCD

Pulmonologist•Faridabad

Pulmonary edema is a disorder wherein fluid accumulates in the lungs leading to lack of oxygen in the body. The usual cause of pulmonary edema is congestive heart failure (the muscles of the heart are unable to pump blood). In this disorder, the heart has to work extra hard to pump blood, so this adds extra pressure on the blood vessels that are present in the lungs. In a bid to relieve this added pressure, fluid is released into the lungs by the blood vessels.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
This life-threatening condition can develop when too much fluid collects in the pericardium. Excess fluid puts pressure on the heart and doesn't allow it to fill properly. Less blood leaves the heart, causing a dramatic drop in blood pressure. Cardiac tamponade requires emergency treatment

If it happened while lifting heavy weight and if the pain started suddenly, it is possible that there is a tear in one of the tendons or one of the muscles itself. If that's the case, it is an emergency. You should visit an orthopaedician right away and surgical repair might be needed. The surgeon might advise an mri scan to determine the nature and extent of damage and then proceed to treat accordingly.

Dear user, masturbation is not related to wound healing and so it will not slow down healing process. It is safe when practised at regular intervals and without getting addicted to it. I advise good nutritious food with fruit juices like lemon and vegetables with iron such as spinach ,calcium rich food like milk, yoghurt, cheese and a healthy lifestyle for faster wound healing.

Many conditions can cause pedal edema like cardiac problems, renal problems as well as liver problems. Even hypothyroidism and venous problems in the leg can cause it. You have to get a renal function test, liver function test, 2d echo, tft to know the exact cause.
