I'm experiencing shortness of breath at night when I'm trying to sleep, and it sometimes happens while I'm eating too. Could this be related to fluid in my lungs? What could be causing this?

my grandma had open heart surgery and they took veins from her legs for it now the wound is healing but above her ankle it's getting wider and fluid is coming out can we use hydrogen peroxide to clean it or what's the best way to take care of this

Clean gently with saline or antiseptic‚Äînot hydrogen peroxide as it delays wound healing.
