I’m new here**

Looking to see if anyone has had any help with pulmonary oedema.? My dad is suffering badly with crackle in his chest & breathing. He had out of hospital cardiac arrest in May & an unsuccessful stent operation which led to a further heart attack. He is currently waiting on his ICD device being fitted but seems to be getting worse not better. Any advice will be great fully received.

I suffered like this, and spent several days in hospital on antibiotics and furosemide to clear the fluid. I now have to deal with the effects of heart failure, but am currently coping OK. Just not able to do as much as I would like.I was fortunate in that it was a month pre-covid. Contacting your GP seems to be a good idea, and the BHF nurses.
