What Causes Breathlessness And Stomach Bloating While Having Enlarged Heart?
I am 63 years of age, female, 68 kgs, and have good health, and walk regularly. Four years ago when I had a bicycle accident, I was told I had a moderately enlarged heart. I find now walking uphill I get shortness of breath, and feel exhausted. I have noticeable bloating of the stomach too. Should I be concerned?
