Hi There
After going through your query i understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that there are multiple causes of cardiomegaly ( enlargement of heart) and are managed accordingly. But as for the pain in left side of the chest radiating to left arm can be because ongoing angina.
Its recommended to get her ECG and echocardiography done and personally consult a cardiologist for further management.
Hope to have been helpful.
Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
