Jolene or any other with CHF

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

I have a question about CHF , mom is suppose to start chemo Tuesday for tumor in

her mediastinum (lung cancer) however she was recently diagnosed with CHF and

all day today but especially tonight her breathing is very labored,

I am concerned and she of course WILL NOT go to the hospital ,

I am going to try to get her to go to docs tomorrow,

My question is that something that happens in CHF? to have trouble breathing?

I am wondering if its the CHF or the tumor

Thanks

Deb,

Yes, labored breathing occurs frequently with CHF. It

is caused from the buildup of fluid (the congestion).

Humid weather also affects it. She made need an extra

dose of a diuretic or breathing treatment. The best

thing is to call her doc.

Good luck!

I don't have CHF I have COPD.. CHF is too much fluid around heart,

and lungs also fill up - which is what causes the labored breathing.

In COPD it is the production of mucous in the throat that causes the

breathing problem, and folks have to take meds to thin the mucous so it

can be coughed up and eliminated. This junik in my throat is really

giving me grief lately. Never used to bothered with it much at all..

Drat.. but sure

bothers me now. Woke up at 3 a.m. wheezing so bad... Tried my inhaler

etc, and finally two cups of hot tea helped so I can breathe decent again.

Cheers Jolene
