Can getting pneumonia/pneumothorax be the cause of cardiomegaly and tachycardia if there were no symptoms previous to the illness?

Cardiomegaly: Cardiomegaly needs specific diagnosis and treatment ,can be due to a large number of causes and maybe independent of any infectious chest complaint;get full evaluation as your life expectancy is very much reduced unless appropriately managed.
