My mother, 73 years old has had pretty intense periods of shortness of breath, off and on in the past few weeks. Heart exray showed signs of slightly enlarged heart. blood tests showed slightly elevated liver enzymes. Echo determined that her heart has been damaged by a virus from a really bad cold & cough she had over the winter. congestive Heart failure and stroke are on both sides of her family. What should we expect now? Dr has basically put her on bed rest sort of, at least for a month. a Beta Blocker and another med (do not know the name) that he said will make her sleepy. She has a follow up appt in 2 wks with dr. and an appt for a stress test.
