Heart has become enlarged in last 12 months. not hyperthyroid, hypertensive, diabetic, etc. why could this be happening? health is otherwise excellent

Really enlarged?: Hard to answer without more info. First, why do you think your heart is enlarged? If this was from a chest x-ray, it could simply have been taken at a point when heart was a resting phase or not a deep enough breath. If this is from an echocardiogram, presumably there was reason to get one. If you feel well, i suspect this is not of concern.
