Patient Words
I have been a heart patient for the last 25 years, and I have complete faith in Dr Naga Srinivaas. This was my second admission at Medicover Hospitals. The doctor and hospital staff were extremely efficient and caring. My condition improved quickly, and I was ready for discharge within two days. I am very satisfied with the care provided.
What is Pulmonary Edema?
Pulmonary Edema is a serious medical condition caused by the accumulation of fluid in the air sacs of the lungs. This fluid buildup interferes with normal breathing and oxygen exchange, making the condition potentially life-threatening.
In many cases, pulmonary edema is linked to heart-related issues such as congestive heart failure. When the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, pressure builds up in the blood vessels of the lungs, causing fluid to leak into the alveoli.
Common symptoms of acute pulmonary edema include:
- Sudden and severe shortness of breath
- Difficulty breathing while lying flat
- Cough producing frothy sputum
- Chest tightness or wheezing
Because of its sudden onset and severity, pulmonary edema requires immediate medical attention.
What Treatment did we provide to Rajveer Bali at Medicover?
Mr Rajveer Bali received prompt and specialised treatment for pulmonary edema at Medicover Hospitals under the expert care of Dr Naga Srinivaas. The treatment focused on rapid stabilisation of breathing and effective management of the underlying cardiac condition.
The treatment approach included:
- Administration of diuretics to remove excess fluid from the lungs
- Medications to support and improve heart function
- Oxygen therapy to improve breathing and oxygen levels

Thanks to timely intervention, coordinated care, and expert cardiology management, Mr Bali's condition improved rapidly, allowing him to be discharged within two days and return home safely.
