Ayurveda may help as a supportive therapy in managing symptoms related to high blood pressure, heart strain, fatigue, and circulation, but it should be used along with your cardiologist’s treatment — not as a replacement.
An enlarged heart with discomfort near the left chest area needs proper medical monitoring, especially at your age and with long-term BP history. Since your evaluations were done long ago, a fresh cardiac check-up is advisable.
In Ayurveda, this condition is often linked with imbalance of Vata and Kapha, affecting the heart and circulation. Supportive Ayurvedic care may include:
Heart-supportive herbs like Arjuna, garlic, and Pushkarmool
Light, low-oily, low-salt diet
Stress reduction, gentle walking, and pranayama
Good sleep and avoiding heavy meals at night

Ayurveda can help support heart strength, circulation, and overall energy, but since you already have enlarged heart and long-standing BP, continue all prescribed cardiac medicines regularly.
Avoid excess salt, stress, heavy meals, and late nights. Light walking, proper sleep, and calm routine are important.
Arjunarishta – 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food
Arjuna capsule/churna – twice daily
Sarpagandha vati – 1 tablet at bedtime only if BP remains high and after doctor advice
Please get a recent ECG/ECHO and cardiac review done, especially since discomfort near the chest is continuing.
Regards,
Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)
