what causes fluid in lungs and legs
This can cause edema all over your body. Heart disease ( congestive heart failure ): When the heart weakens and pumps blood less effectively, fluid can slowly build up, creating leg edema. If fluid buildup occurs quickly, fluid in the lungs, known as pulmonary edema, can develop. If your heart failure is on the right side of your heart, edema can develop in the abdomen, as well. Liver disease: Severe liver disease (such as cirrhosis) causes you to retain fluid.
