Hello dear and thanks for posting your query here.
It is not very rare to find a mild form of cardiomegaly on chest X-ray but if it is there then it must be further evaluated by an Echocardiography to confirm the size and function of heart, so that the treatment could be started accordingly.
I hope this information would be of help to you.
Thanks and all the best.
