One litre of fluids

After having pneumonia with fluid on the lung I have now developed heart failure.My recent x-ray was showing I still have fluid on my lung. I don't have any shortness of breath at the moment. I was surprised to hear this.

Apparently it's worse than it was.

A consultant from the hospital rang me to ask how I was feeling.

I am doing OK but obviously the new medication I am on is helping.

He advised me to only drink one litre of fluid a day.

Has anyone ever been advised this. Any help out there.

It's not much fluid for one day.

Thanks 😊

Gosh, sorry to hear that, hope things improve for you. Re fluid , I can understand reducing your intake so as not to over-hydrate tissue as in oedema, but maybe ask your consultant for explanation? Good luck. 🤞
