👉 Worried fluid, also known as pleural effusion, is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the space between the lungs and the lining of the chest wall, called the pleura. This fluid can result from various underlying conditions, such as heart failure, pneumonia, lung cancer, or infections. The buildup of fluid increases pressure on the lungs, making it harder for them to expand and breathe effectively. This condition can cause symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, and a persistent cough, and it often requires medical intervention to identify and treat the underlying cause.
