Conjunctive Heart Failure

Please, no jokes. I am 57 years old and in the early stages of heart failure conjunctiva. My feet are swollen and when I went to bed at night my lungs are gurgling. How long should I live if I do what the doctor tell me?

What you speak is congestive heart failure. This means your heart does not pump properly and does not reduce the liquid in your body so that it accumulates in your lungs and limbs, and later around your heart.
You can live many years with CHF (congestive heart failure) as you are being treated by a doctor with medication and monitor your diet. Who is to reduce your intake of salt.

Firstly, it is called congestive heart failure. This means your heart does not pump as efficiently as usual for your body. The blood flows back into the lungs through the blood vessels and congested lungs and the backup of fluid in the legs. You must be on treatment! You can get medicine that will help pull the congestion of the lungs and make you urinate. It will help your breath. Regarding how long you live, I can not be the judge. It depends on many other issues that you have.

Congestive heart failure can be managed with medication. If it is treated properly, the ankle is not swollen and you would not gurgly. See a cardiologist ASAP, they can help you more than one GP.
