Lems With Swelling?
I have a lot of problems with my feet swelling.i don't know if that goes with COPD.
Yes the lung problems do often go hand in hand with swollen feet /legs.It's important to take fluid tablets because the excess fluid can end up in your lungs causing 'walking pneumonia', which is where you have pneumonia but don't know it! I had this sort of pneumonia once and I saw my lung X-ray - my lungs were half full of fluid and it was perfectly level like in a bowl.If you do get pneumonia, ask to see the X-ray - interesting!
Frusimide is often prescribed. I take 40mg for 1,2 or 3 days depending on how much excess fluid I have.
I went and saw my doctor Friday. He's having an echcardio done on me and exray. he thinks all my swelling is from my heart. He increasedy lasix to twice a day and I have to weigh myself every day. So all I can do is keep on going.
I had walking pneumonia last winter no one told me about that.thank you
I was just done answering and a call came in. First of all I apologize for being snarky. I have to watch when I get tired and get tired a lot! Are there no symptoms for walking pneumonia? I always have a Zpak on hand and take it when I get that tightening in my chest and flu like symptoms. Having PFT test tomorrow then next day pulmonologist. This swelling is new so thanks for the info. Again. My apologies.
yep swelling i have real problems with. i take lasisk than can't go anywhere am married to the toilet. always something to deal with

I Have Been Experiencing Some Swelling In My Right Wrist. I Have Not Hurt Myself. Can This Be Related To My COPD? It Almost Looks Like Fluid
