No Furosemide is a water pill. It makes you pee more often flushing sodium from your body which could cause retention. Because of this, water does not congest your lungs and it clears your lungs to breath properly. I used to have Shortness of breath but since I started on lasix three months ago I breath very good and do not need to prop myself up with pillows while sleeping. So to answer your question I am patient on Lasix who knows that Furosemide does the opposite, it helps with shortness of breath(SOB)
