Nurse called yesterday and CT scan was clear don't know why x ray showed fluid unless I've coughed it out. Still a little hard to breath so seen Doc again today A1C and BP ok my stomach is a little bloated and ankles a little swollen . He prescribe me Lasix and put on waiting list for stress test , no salt no beer.

JB, if this is your first time on Lasix, be sure to drink LOTS of water, maybe eat a banana each day, at least until your body acclimates to the drug.
First time I ever took it, I got monster cramps for no apparent reason, multiple times a day, especially at night - hamstring, calf, biceps, quads, adductors ( the very worst to stretch out of a cramp) those rib diagonal muscles, pretty much everywhere for several days after starting on Lasix. Doc had me cut back to a half dose for a couple weeks, and that helped.
