Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Slightly dilated atrium – nothing to worry about / could be normal variant / re-check after 1 or 2 years
Shortness of breath needs evaluation – Anxiety, heart failure, asthma area few causes… The treating doctor alone can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.
Take care
God bless
