LVEDD 5.9cm should I be worried?
Hi all! I have been experiencing chest pains, light headiness, pressure, and breathlessness for a few months now. I have gone to the ER twice, my GP twice and a cardiologist once. I was told by the ER doctors that my blood tests and chest X-rays were normal both times.
My cardiologist told me the only concerning thing he saw in my electrocardiogram was the fact that my LVEDD was 5.9cm which means i have a dilated left ventricle. My question is how worried should I be about this?Should I keep bugging the doctors or possibly just try to relax and see if the symptoms subside after a few more months? Thanks!
