Thank you for your question.I understand your concern.Tab.s numlo is a calcium channel blocker which rarely gives water retention. In my opinion, water retention in the lungs may be due low grade cardiac failure.You may consider giving him a low dose diuretic, to reduce the water retention.And telma is a better drug than s amlo for cardiac failure too. So you may discuss with your treating doctor to consider a diuretic. Hope i answered your question.
