Patient discussion about hydropic.

Q. what is "pulmonary edema" and what are the risks? my Dr. told me I'm in a risk group for pulmonary edema, he tried to explain what it is but i didn't understand fully...if someone may give me a brief explanation- I'll appreciate it!

Q. does mosquito bites considered as an edema a bet with a friend- please help solve an issue an help me win a new I pod :)
