Not exactly sure if the fluid built up slowly, but there was also some in my abdomen. I have to have a diuretic perscription and an antibiotic filled tomorrow. Walmart will do it cheap. It’s strange, but I had a chest x-ray at county hospital in October. I can’t believe fluid could build up that fast, unless they’re totally incompetent.
If you take anything with Tylenol, quit now, and get a liver scan. It most definitely does a number on your liver. That includes Nyquil, extra strength Excederin...I stopped several years ago with the Tylenol and ibuprofen, but I took a lot of it for back and neck pain.
I would advise anyone to do that, and lay off the Diet Coke. I was slugging down 2+ liters a day until last year when I elimated caffeine from my diet.
But fluid on the lungs and in your abdomen.... there has to be a cause. If you don't have pneumonia or cancer or CHF then something is causing pleural effusion. I hope your doctors are taking it seriously. Did they run blood work to see what it showed?...
