Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that a chest X ray study is not the best tool to examine your heart. Considering your symptoms, I would recommend performing further tests:

- a cardiac ultrasound
- pulmonary function tests to exclude a lung disorder.
- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction.
- blood electrolytes. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

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