What Are The Symptoms Of Left Ventrical?
Two days ago I went to a Carenow for dizziness. Eventually they gave me levaquin for pneumonia, and said I need to see a cardiologist for a possible enlarged left ventrical. After one dose of the levaquin I had slight tinggling in my left arm this morining which I know is a side effect. However, they said it was why I needed to see the cardiologistwhich I do in four days. Just nervous if it needs an er visit. Right now I have a slight pain on my right side whichs feels like my lung over there. I didn't have fluid on my lungs, so hopefully we caught it early. Is this normal reaction? 37 white male non-smoker.

Hello,
Left ventricular hypertrophy simply means there is enlargement of the left ventricle (lower chamber of the left part of your heart). It is most times caused by high blood pressure or common in athletes. So the cause of your LVH can be known from your symptoms or history. Your chest pain is due to pneumonia, should resolve once you complete pneumonia treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
