This document discusses pulmonary edema, a buildup of fluid in the lungs, that can occur after taking diuretic medications, which are used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It describes how diuretics work by increasing urine output but can also cause the body to lose too much sodium and water, depleting blood volume and predisposing patients to pulmonary edema. The document outlines signs and symptoms of pulmonary edema and recommends close monitoring of patients on diuretics, along with temporary diuretic dose reductions or discontinuation if pulmonary edema develops.
