During intercourse I have had fluid in my lungs 3 times and today I quit before it got bad. I e-mailed my doctor but no answer yet. I don t have this problem anyother time. I found out it sounds like pumonary edema. I know it is to be checked and I have a stres test on Friday. Advice?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should avoid heavy exertion and take rest at home. Get done TMT (Trade Mill Test) first to rule out cardiac cause. There are many causes for fluid in lungs but when it is due to cardiac cause, we call it as pulmonary edema. So we need to rule out cardiac causes first. I advise you to get done 2D Echo also for evaluation of heart function. As decreased heart function lead to pulmonary edema.
