hi, my wifes(30yrs,65kg,diabites & asthma , recently done synus surgery) was getting tire quickly,getting body ache and she was getting pain in her neck and middle chest area so she was directed to take x-ray and x-ray result show her heart is getting bigger or is bigger than normal size?? she is more depressed after this result and she is still waiting to discuss this with cardiologist , but is it possible to know what it could be and is there any risk to her life?? any suggestions?
Hi, Chest x-ray is not the good investigation to tell enlargement of heart. It is falsely positive most the times. So get the echo done. So need to worry at this point of time. Her symptoms are nonspecific and not very suggestive of heart disease. They look like gastritis and acidity problem. She should get vitamin D level. Avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. You can get prescribed tab Pantoprazole 40 mg before breakfast once a day for 2 weeks. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
