The condition in which fluid fills spaces within the lungs is known as pulmonary edema. This occurs when excess fluid accumulates in the alveoli, the tiny air sacs in the lungs, often due to heart problems, such as congestive heart failure, or other factors like pneumonia or exposure to high altitudes. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, coughing, and a feeling of suffocation. Prompt medical treatment is essential to address the underlying cause and alleviate symptoms.

What causes water to fill around the lungs?
Increased pressure within the vascular system is the usual cause. This is caused usually by three things (one at a time or all combined): too much fluid, too few intravascular particles, too little heart function.All three cause too much pressure within the circulatory system and the fluid within the vessels is then 'pushed out' into the extavascular space. This space is within the lungs or within other tissues in the body. You get wet lungs or swollen extremities.
