Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
I think she is having fluid retention in the body due to low urine output because of kidney failure and diabetes.
Fluid retention in body causes
1. Edema feet
2. Pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs)
3. Ascites (fluid in peritoneal cavity)
So breathlessness can be due to pulmonary edema. And more in night favours pulmonary edema more.
So better to admit her. She needs diuretics and treatment for kidney failure, cardiac problem,diabetes etc.
So consult doctor and discuss all these.
