Suggest Treatment For Cardiomegaly
I am female, 34 years old. I have been diagnosed with Cardiomegaly. I used to drink much alcohol but been sober for the past two years. How serious is this? What kind of treatment there is, surgery? It is fatal? How can I take care of myself from now on, meaning, nutrition, exercise perhaps, etc...? Thank you.

Hello,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that cardiomegaly is enlargement of the heart.
Do you have any symptoms like shortness of breath, swollen legs, etc.?
I would like to review your cardiac ultrasound report if you can upload it in order to give a more professional opinion on your clinical situation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
