Distended veins in lungs displaying strangely

Hi guys .hope this is correct I'm next to useless online but would like to try and find a few answers. So CHF fluid caused what I think is called PH. The arteries from lungs swollen . Causes the feeling of suffocating but whilst resting. The pulse increases but also bodies oxygen levels. It's sorta reverse what ud expect with out of control fluid build up.

X-ray shows clear chest fluid wise except for the swollen veins.

Ultimately tho as O2 levels increase the feeling of suffocation worsens.

Does anyone know why this would be or had same.? Getting fluid under control does help even tho no fluid present in chest on x-ray .

Can the condition be cured and would oxygen help even tho o2 levels nearly 99% when usually 90-92%.

Cheers jay tyson

Hello

Sorry can't be of much help it is far to complex for me !! Maybe a call to the BHF helpline would get you pointed in the right direction.

Wishing you Well
