Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Have you got echo done. If not you should get it done to look for ejection fraction. You should have diuretics like torsemide to relieve cardiac asthma. So you should discuss with your doctor regarding starting diuretics.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
