Enlarged heart,unsual fatigue, palpitat
Cardiomegaly (Enlarged Heart) is not a disease in itself, but rather a condition in which the heart becomes enlarged or thickened due to excessive strain. It is typically caused by high blood pressure, valvular heart disease, or cardiomyopathy; if left untreated, it can lead to heart failure. Key symptoms include easy fatigue, swelling, palpitations, and chest tightness. The condition can be managed through medication and lifestyle modifications. Symptoms of Cardiomegaly In the early stages, there may be no obvious symptoms. However, as the heart's function becomes increasingly impaired, the following symptoms may manifest: Unusual Fatigue: Particularly during physical exertion or when lying flat. Swelling: Swelling in the feet or ankles. Palpitations: Difficulty breathing or rapid breathing. Dizziness: Lightheadedness, near-fainting sensations, or fainting. Chest Tightness: A sensation of pressure or pain in the chest area.
