Hi im on my 4 th month post op mitral valve stenosis, before surgery i felt discomfort on my throat something stuck in it especially when im lying down ,secrete sticky saliva , i went to different doctors and tested my blood for thyroid no problem about that , it was almost 2 yrs problem on and off ,then time comes i had a valve problem leading to a surgery for mitral valve replacement ,now i have a pleural effusion doctor gave me 40 mg lasix coz i have edema , also a fib ,my worries was is it connected to my strep throat whats happening i read on the internet one of the causes of heart problem came from the throat im thinking it might affect my new valve and the rest of my valve can you please give your insights about this , i kept going and going to my doctor but the problem wasn't resolve... So disappointed , frustrating
