Brief Answer:
I recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that a chest X ray study is not the best tool to examine the heart.

So, we can not come into right conclusions based only on this test, which is not specific for the heart.

For this reason, I would recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound, which is very accurate test to examine the heart function and structure.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above test.

I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr.Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
