What Is The Treatment For Enlarged Heart?

I currently am being treated with an enlarged heart. Last night and most of today I have been having an on and off again pain in my chest right above and under my left breast. It feels as though something is being squeezed in or around my heart. Is this cause for concern?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart).
And recurrent left sided chest pain with chest pressure and tightness are mostly due to coronary artery disease (CAD) and angina.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. Stress test
4. Coronary angiography (if required).
Yoy may need antianginal drug and other cardiac supportive drugs on the basis of these reports.
So don't neglect this pain, consult cardiologist and rule out CAD.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
