Hi,

Are you a hypertensive? You need to get one echo done for cause of cardiomegaly. It can just be a x-ray Illusion due to scoliosis. You just need a healthy lifestyle like avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according to your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week.

Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, and avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't be abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
