Understanding Cardiomeglia Reversal

[jillfender]

I reviewed some past history from a surgery in 2002 and saw that  during a routine chest xray, I had "borderline cardiomeglia" and an abnormal EKG(bradycardia).  Not knowing this and having had several EKG's since then, no one else has ever said I had any problems with my heart.  Is this possibly a false reading or could the condition have reversed?  I am now menopausal and have recently started having arrthymias, from fluttering to skipped beats and double beats.

and ps. cardiomyopathy means heart disease, cardiomeglia or cardiomegaly mean "enlarged heart. just fyi

I don't think two false readings is correct here.  I was ill at the time of my surgery and can believe that I had bradycardia.  But since I have had three chest xrays and three ekg's since that time(7 yrs ago) no one has else found anything abnormal.  My question is, is this a false reading or can the condition be reversed and I think you would have to be a dr to figure that one out for me, not a layperson.  thanks.

It would be very hard to have a 'false' reading on both. Cardiomegelia is another name for cardiomyopathy. I would certainly be asking my doctor why no one has mentioned this before as this is a serious form of heart disease. If you are in menopause, obviously, you are a woman and sometimes doctors make light of a woman's heart disease. See a good cardiologist and get to the bottom of this problem.
