will a person with this wake up when he cant breath? 80.178.195.85 19:31, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Often, he/she will. If you don't wake up, then it really can't be considered a symptom. InvictaHOG 21:03, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I think that the fluid enters the interstital spaces of the lungs preventing filling of the aveoli rather than enetering the aveoli directly, hence why it resolves quickly, getting fluid out of the aveoli would be more difficult and take a greater time
