shortness of breath

I suffered a heart attack in April.  had an angioplasty as well as a stent implant.  because of the severity of my blockage.  Left anterior descending, I experienced the fluid back up in my lungs.
I notice now if I am lying down while talking, I begin wheezing and coughing, sometimes sputum is pink tinged.  Its like exertion while lying down brings this on.  Even simple things as kissing my mate will cause me to wheeze and begin coughing.  Any ideas?
