Symptom #3: Shortness of Breath
There are many cardiac conditions that may lead to shortness of breath. These include congestive heart disease, increased heart rate, pulmonary edema, and enlarged heart.
At first, you are unlikely to notice the symptoms of an enlarged heart until you experience shortness of breath. This is the first noticeable symptom for most patients of cardiomegaly.
