Could Breathlessness And Chest Pain In Case Of Enlarged Heart Indicate Heart Failure?
My husband is 34 years old and has enlarged heart. Refuses to get care. He experiences chest pain, pressure, loss of hearing at times and has speech trouble at times during the chest pain. He is having them more frequent. Refuses to change lifestye of drinking and tobacco use. He recently had an episode where he passed out quit breathing and heart stopped. He came to after about 1-2 min. Is he in end stages of heart failure?

Dear Mrs,
It is not the end stage, but it is decompensated and advanced heart failure, but he has another problems as well, because hearing loss and and speech troubles are not related to heart condition.
But you should know, that there are possibilities, that he can do quite well, if he receives treatment and follows healthy lifestyle.
Wishing a good health to your husband
