Hello,
Heart failure may cause lungs congestion, breathing difficulty, dyspnea on lying down position.
But throat congestion may be due to allergy or pharyngitis or acid reflux due to drugs.
So use tablet pantoprazole. Avoid cool'drinks and freeze water. Use tablet montelukast and levocetirizine.
If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
