Fatigue
Cardiomegaly is frequently associated with fatigue. Fatigue is a feeling of weariness that can interrupt daily life. More than feeling tired, the symptom is described as overwhelming exhaustion.
Either physical or emotional stress may cause fatigue in the body. It can arise if the heart is unable to pump blood to the body's muscles properly. People with cardiomegaly may also experience emotional stress when coming to terms with the realities of living with a heart condition.
