10 Enlarged Heart Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #6: Swelling in the Legs
Edema or swelling in the legs is one more of the most common enlarged heart symptoms. Other parts of the body including the abdomen may also get edema. The process of fluid collecting in any part of the body part is slow and depends on how enlarged the heart is.
Edema usually responds to medications. However, it is a serious problem that should be resolved holistically by addressing the underlying cause, not just treating the symptom. If you notice that your legs, abdomen, or chest are swelling, you should visit a medical facility for tests to determine the cause. This way treatment can commence before the problem worsens.
