Hi
Pulmonary edema is really not to be treated at home
He should be hospitalised, and treated under medical care &supervision.
It should be treated with diuretics, bronchodilators, nebulisations, steroids. And drugs to control the heart rate, & antihypertensives if not reduced he should undergo dialysis
the symptoms you described look like he has congestive cardiac failure
Take care
