[ dads surgery is suppose to be mid morning, uless the dr sees a change not to go through with this . Please leave in your thoughts, in your prayers. I saw dad yesterday, Mike picked me up. Dad questioned me about my heart attack and if I coughed up blood. He wanted to know, and has a right to know. Cause as we all know, the unknown can make us fearful. No one could tell me why dad was coughing up blood, , it comes from the lung area no doubt to be coughed up. eliminating causes of throat inflammation, and his bleeding ulcer. This is the only reason I found for this issue. ]and these are all the symptoms dad had as described. Basically a vein explosion from his lung area seeping through. ] Pulmonary edema Pulmonary edema is a condition caused by excess fluid in the lungs. This fluid collects in the numerous air sacs in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. In most cases, heart problems cause pulmonary edema. But fluid can accumulate for other reasons, including pneumonia, exposure to certain toxins and medications, trauma to the chest wall, and exercising or living at high elevations. Pulmonary edema that develops suddenly (acute pulmonary edema) is a medical emergency requiring immediate care. Although pulmonary edema can sometimes prove fatal, the outlook improves when you receive prompt treatment for pulmonary edema along with treatment for the underlying problem. Treatment for pulmonary edema varies depending on the cause but generally includes supplemental oxygen and medications. mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pulmonary-edema/basics/definition/con-20022485
