What Causes Throat Discomfort While Suffering From Fluid In The Heart?

I went to a cardiologist. Was diagnosed with heart failure at 44 years old. Exercise everyday with no smoking, no booze or drugs. He thinks its a 90% chance its fluid around my heart. Going in for testing next week just to make sure i dont have a blockage. When i day on my left side its uncomfortable. When I sleep at night i hear and feel a gargle in my throat. Could that be from the fluid around my heart. He thinks I have something viral from testosterone injections

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The discomfort on the left can be related to your decreased heart function.

If you are having difficulty breathing at night, this can cause be related as well.

The additional tests would help to determine how much heart function you have and ways to help maintain and improve it.
