Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

For answering to your questions I would need more information
1. What was the cause for your heart enlargement, is it a consequence of a heart attack, or myocarditis or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy?
2. what do you mean by irregular heart heart beat? Do you have atrial fibrillation or just premature contractions?
3. Is your blood pressure data of 130/80 after you start to take medications, or it is low now?
4. what is your mean heart rate
5. what is your cholesterol level
6. do you have other diseases?
7. Do you have heart failure symptoms, such as breathlessness, dyspnoe?
8.And it would be great if you attach your echocardiography, echo and other results
