Cardiomegaly and pulmonary vascular prominence !! Real Scared?? Prognosis??

Posted By nmum on June 04, 1999 at 13:13:26
I have a chest xray report. It says
There is cardiomegaly with left ventricular prominence and CT ratio 16/27. There is pulmonary vascular prominence. No focal consolidation or Pleural effusions are noted. Mild Degenerative changes are seen in thoracic spine.
Impression : Cardiomegaly and Pulmonary vascular prominence.
What does this mean. I don't understand a word.
I have high BP - taking toprol XL - 50mg
Quite obese
have palpitations and cough. sometimes chest pain - short stabs.
Please help!!! What's the prognosis. I'm real scared. What should be done now.
Thanks.
