Why has my nan got fluid on her lungs,she has also been told her heart is weak?
Most probably LVF (Left Ventricular Failure) also called CCF (Congestive Cardiac Failure) this is where fluid from the body backs up in the lungs due to the hearts decreased ability to pump blood effectively this condition can be controlled with drug therapy Diuretics, Nitrates etc depending on the severity, the problem is usually progressive ie it could get gradually worse with time in the acute phase which your nan is in at the moment she will look and indeed be seriously ill, but with correct prompt administration of three drugs Nitrate, Diamorphine,& Frusemide she should respond dramatically (within an hour or two) good luck to you all.
