Hello Dr, I had severe cough for 15days and went for X ray but tht reveled symptons about mild Cardiomegaly. But I used to take liquor daily so now onwards ive quit that and I am on diet. Avoiding all sorts of oily food, taking complete rest and 1 hr of brisk walk on a thread mill. Is this sufficient? also I am taking Tazloc-H and Tonact EZ as my LDL and VLDL are high.
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I passed carefully through your concern and would like to explain that your cougChatDoctorplaint may be an expression of heart failure. Coming to the point that cardiomegaly has been shown on chest X-ray, it is necessary to proceed with a careful physical exam (for investigating possible systemic congestive signs); BNP or N-proBNP test and a cardiac ultrasound (reviewing the overall cardiac performance, possible myocardial, valvular, or pericardial implications) and correctly decide on the ongoing management strategy. If the cardiomegaly and heart failure option is confirmed, then a therapy optimization would be necessary, considering diuretics addition and may be a beta-blocker. You need to discuss with your attending doctor on the above-mentioned issues. Hope to have been helpful to you! Kind regards,
