Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of congestive heart failure is more likely in your case. Congestive heart failure causes water retention in the body. This in turn causes edema in legs, chest congestion, cough, breathing difficulty on exercise. Your heart size is also on higher side of normal. So possibility of worsening cardiomegaly and heart failure is more. So get done 2d echo and coronary angiography. You may need digoxin, angioplasty and other cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
