SeattleRain Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I obtained my previous X-rays from the ER today. I still think my heart looks to big. This is in October: http://i.imgur.com/clXwSGp.jpg This was last Saturday: http://i.imgur.com/Y2I3VEE.jpgObviously will bring this up with my doctor but my appt's aren't anytime soon... Just curious to know if anyone else has compared their x-rays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadiangirl73 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hi there,I'm so sorry you're having doubts about your heart. I'm not a doctor so I don't know if it is indeed enlarged. Are they both x-rays? Or is the bottom one from a ct-scan? If it is the case, organs won't have the same appearance depending on the means used to obtain images. Also, when one has HF, there are other symptoms. Sure, they overlap with some POTS symptoms (shortness of breath, especially), but having had transient viral cardiomyopathy (resolved within a week's time) that coincided with my dysautonomia onset I can assure you that the SOB I experienced back then and what I get now felt very different. Is there any way you can go back where you went and ask for the written report pertaining to those tests or talk to someone there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
