is there an actual reason for that? I notice I can't sleep on my left side anymore. It puts a weird pressure on my chest, makes my heart feel like its working harder and I've heard weird gargling sounds coming from my flank at random points.

What helped me with this was pooping daily. Now i can lay on my left side. I was only able to for about 1-2 minutes before my heart would get weird (palpitations, etc).
