HI there, I'm really sorry to hear that you're going under so much stress. I'm not sure what it could be but having an enlarged heart is not the worst thing in the world. It does mean that you are at risk for certain things but it's not something to get really stressed about. Currently it sounds like your doctors don't quite know what's going on so the best tactic in this case is to relax and make sure you do see your doctor. Can you keep us posted on how you're doing?
