Went to A&E a couple of days ago

Shortness of breath, wheezing etc. they got 3 litres of fluid out of my lungs and a further 4 litres from my body. After the fluid gets full in your legs, it starts going to the lungs apparently ? I’ve still managed to gain 3 kg in a month though. At least my fat seems to be slowing down a bit lol

Cheers,

Brett
