Brief Answer:
Yes you should see your cardiologist or G.P.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for choosing HCM.
The causes of cardiomegaly may vary. Many times this condition results from high blood pressure (hypertension) or coronary artery disease. An enlarged heart may not pump blood effectively, resulting in congestive heart failure.A stress test should also be done to rule out coronary artery disease,Fasting lipid profile should be done.If all these tests are normal then you are clear from cardiac side.
