What Is a Cardiomegaly?
5. Signs & Symptoms
Symptoms of cardiomegaly include abdominal bloating, chest pain, dizziness, abnormal heart rhythms and shortness of breath. Some people also experience fatigue, edema (or swelling) and coughing (especially when lying down).
Mild cardiomegaly doesn’t usually cause any noticeable symptoms. Thus, those who have it may be unaware unless the condition worsens. The symptoms listed above are most commonly associated with moderate or severe cardiomegaly and should be checked out by a medical doctor as soon as possible.
