He states he has a history of fluid in his lungs and he takes a "water pill" and a "bronchodilator" every day. Both legs are swollen. He also used inhaler cortisone when needed to ease his frequent difficult breathing. His blood pressure is 168/98 and his pulse is 144 beats per minute. Upon listening to his heart with a stethoscope, a third heart sound is noted and abnormal breath sounds. After complete blood work and radiological investigation, the patient is diagnosed with CHF and COPD. Discuss all of this information with the physician using correct medical terminology.
