Do Pneumonia And COPD Cause Congestive Heart Failure?
I recently was hospitalized in an emergency because I felt like I was choking and couldn t breath. I coded and they had me on oxygen. They did a chest xl-ray and said I had pneumonia. I stayed in the hospital for four days they also said I had COPD and sleep apnea during my stay they said my heart stopped also my lungs filled with fluid could this be congestive heart failure?

i want to know some other details of your condition as labelling you as a case of CCF may be of serious consequences therefore i need to know your heart size, pain in right upper abdomen, swelling of face or feet, any ecg changes etc. In cases of COPD there are chances of extreme pressure on right side of heart which eventually can involve left side too known as cor pulmonale
