Why does difficulty breathing occur after childbirth? The doctor said the heart is filled with water? How

Patient's question:

12 days postpartum, I found that I couldn't sleep flat on my back at night and had difficulty breathing. I had an ultrasound done, which said there was water in my heart.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it is considered related to respiratory infection or insufficient blood supply to the heart. It is recommended to undergo further chest X-ray or fluoroscopy examination. Additionally, it is important to check if there is insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle. Coronary angiography can be performed to see if it is appropriate for symptomatic treatment.
