You could have fluid in the lungs, which basically is pneumonia, or you could have what Gregg describes, which is fluid around the lungs in the lung cavity. That called a pleural effusion, and the fix is just what he described. If they catch it right away, it is an easy fix; if they don't, it's pretty uncomfortable.

Just part of the disease ..lasix can help relieve some of the fluid..and prednisone..elevate your hwad up a bit helps some

Eva, fluid collection does often accompany COPD, but it shouldn't be considered "just part of the disease". It needs to be checked out because there are many, many reasons for fluid to collect and COPD is only one possibility.

Talk to your dr. About a medrol injection they do give relief

Not to scare you but conjestivr heart fairlurr can cause it
