Cold, Breathing Problem, Heart Enlarged, Zevit, Cefolac-200
Hi, I am suffering from cold and from past two months, I have problem on breathing and I ignored as I thought its due to cold.. I just met a doctor yesterday for this problem and they suggest me for a x-ray scan. I did it and doctor found that my heart is a lil bit enlarged. he told to me that no problem just take this medicines (ZEVIt and cefolac-200) for 5days and meet him again. Having problem in breathing... but cant says its due to heart or cold.. :( I searched on internet and found that heart enlarged is not normal thing. I do workout and from past 15 days I m doing some heart pushed exercises for my chest at home. I also read that in body building, heart enlargement is normal. What should I do? Should I take this serious or not ?

Dear patient,
The best way to sort out this concerns is to take a look directly at the heart with an echocardiogram, or ultrasound of the heart, which can give you information about the size, mass, and structure of the heart and valves.
