Brief Answer:
This is cardiac asthma and suggests fluid overload!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what your mother is currently going through. These symptoms are typical of heart failure. They suggest fluid overload and are not a very good sign of good management. I will suggest that the doctors review her medications and probably act on what it takes to get the amount of fluid in her system reduced. This may be done by increasing the amount of water pill. Also, reducing water intake, raising the head of the bed, reducing salt intake, etc would help reduce the amount of fluid and ameliorate these symptoms. Controlling her oxygen saturation, administering bronchodilators would also help with this condition. Please, talk to her doctors and let me know what is happening.

I hope this helps. I wish yor mother the best of all possible outcomes. Feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be.
