My husband's chest x-ray was found to have a result of mild cardiomegaly and it worries us both. The doctor said it was due to prolonged high blood pressure. He can not continue with work with this kind of condition. How long can is the treatment for it?
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, uncontrolled hypertension can cause strain on heart muscles and this in turn cause hypertrophy and cardiomegaly. So best treatment is strict control of blood pressure. He may need additional antihypertensive drug to control blood pressure. Along with antihypertensive drugs, he should follow these. Avoid salt in diet. Weight loss is beneficial if he is obese. Quit smoking and alcohol if he has these habits. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
