Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Congestive Heart Failure - the fluid builds up around the heart and is usually treated with diuretics (drugs to pull the fluid out of the body) and sometimes with a drug to strengthen the heartbeat. Keep her in an upright sitting position to make breathing easier and try to get hold of her doctor asap. This is miserable & uncomfortable and needs to be dealt with very soon.
