Sir, My mother had a surgery for the bile stone almost one month back , and it is removed. But at the time of recovery period after surgery, she had breathing difficulties, later came to know as oxygen saturation problem was there. Some tests had done at the time while she was at ICU related to this, and the report saying as she is having cardiomegaly. Now her doctor suggested her to do endoscopy and echo test ?,I would lke to know, what would be her problem, is there any chances of cardiac related issues?
Hello and welcome to Ask a Doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Cardiomegaly is general term and has multiple causes like heart blockages. Does she have any chest pain, if yes it suggests it can be due to blockages? Now we should evaluate her, she will need lipid profile, Sugar level done, ECG, thyroid test, echocardiography. Depending upon the result further test will be done. Get back with the report. Also let me know how she was diagnosed as cardiomegaly, was it on chest X-ray. If it was diagnosed on chest x-ray then it can also be false. Sometimes chest x-ray wrongly show cardiomegaly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
