Edema in the lungs is a primary symptom of congestive heart failure; does anyone know if this has been discussed?
Yes, could be CHF. Or an infection. Or maybe something else. Why are you jumping to conclusions, and what does it matter?
Edema is not necessarily a conditions of liquid in the lungs. It’s swelling which sometimes could result from fluid in the lungs, but YWN has not confirmed that he has Edema.
