Can gastric problems cause your heart to be enlarged?

elisabet

I am eighteen and my left side of my heart and lung is enlarged. I have done multiple tests to understand why they are enlarged my tests revealed no information, I do not even have asthma. My doctor suggested that I just need to hydrate alot. I have gastric problems everytime I eat even if it is little. Does my gastric problems such a "bubbly feeling" in my stomach and heart burn is affecting my heart size?

Not that I know about. Enlarged heart at this age strongly suggests some problem that occurred during the development of the heart or the lung. Stomach problems may cause heart problems, but not these kinds of problems you describe.

Heartburn is quite common, so these two may coincide without any causal relationship. However, all I said is just a general advice, and may not pertain to your case, since I don't know many details.

HI--i am not a DR put because i worked in a hosp as a therapist--the digestive system an the circulatory system are not connected. I suggest to you to change your diet(the things you eat-like pizza an other spicie foods-thy to eat 4hrs before you lay down-eat smaller portions-some times common sence about what you eat will do the trick---good luck-mrfoot56.
