I went to the hospital last night with shortness of breath, chest pain on my left side, pain that came and went on my lower left part of my stomach. I could not feel my hands or my legs they were so numb. There is still a constant tightness in my left chest. I had a ekg that was normal all blood test were normal and mri on my chest was normal. The doctor did say that I had an enlarged heart. Should I be worried??
Hello, I don't know exactly if the heart itself is enlarged that mean it's a serious problem (heart failure) or you may have a normal heart surrounded by liquid that is called pericarditis. Both are serious heart disease and require specific treatment. If I were you, I would go to a cardiologist and do an ECG, echocardiography, some blood tests including BNP and take the right treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
