Common Questions and Answers about Heart murmur causes blood pressure

Avatar n tn Can you develop a heart murmur from a car accident? I was rear ended - minimum damage. I was diagnosed with whiplash. I was also advised that I have a heart murmur. When I was a small child - I was told I had a heart murmur and i would grow out of it. I am now 43. Can car accident trauma cause a heart murmur? My blood pressure was also high. 117/98 - it's never been that high.
Avatar f tn Sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn't mean system blood pressure. When the blood pumps (systole) there is internal pressure within the left chamber that causes mitral valve leaflets to "bellow" into the upper chamber and the improper closing causes a murmur and the sound is the backflow of blood . For some insight mitral valve prolapse is a common condition occurring in approximately 4 - 18% of the population.
Avatar m tn This regurgitant flow causes a decrease in the diastolic blood pressure in the aorta, and therefore an increase in the pulse pressure (systolic pressure - diastolic pressure). There is no evidence that your medication causes a wide pulse rate.
Avatar f tn Murmurs may also be the result of various problems, such as narrowing or leaking of valves, or the presence of passages between chambers of the heart. Elevated blood pressure may not be related to the murmur. The next step in the evaluation of a murmur is often an echocardiogram, which is an ultrasound of the heart. Please discuss this test with your doctor. Your doctor may also be able to give you more information about the murmur.
Avatar f tn I too have a heart murmur and trivial mitral regurgitation, I don’t know what’s happening , only that my blood pressure is. 127/58 which it’s never been this low, I have had a pretty good steady blood pressure prior, also this start after I took the Pfizer vaccine 5days ago. Not sure if it’s related. But I’m only 35yrs old female.
Avatar n tn Specialist said clinically the only thing he could find was a heart murmur that could be indicative. BNP level went from 14 to 80. He repeated the heart cath with exercise. Resting pressure was 30/8. Normal. He had me lift weights and had a hard time getting my heart rate up as I am taking beta blockers for tachycardia. Eventually he got my heart rate up to 110 and I stopped due to fatigue. It has been deemed normal.
Avatar f tn I have had paroxysmal atrial fibrillation for about 10 years - I take flecainide 100mg twice daily and I don't have too many episodes. At a recent pre - op assessment (for shoulder surgery) I was found to have a heart murmur and the surgery has been postponed until I get an echocardiogram to see what's causing the heart murmur. Does anyone know if atrial fibrillation can cause a heart murmur to develop?
Avatar m tn All this to say my doctor told me to see a Cardiologist because he said i have a heart murmur. He asked if i was born with this I was not.... I do have chest pain feels deep in my heart especially in the morning when i awake. I already consulted last year for this and the doctor told me not to be alarmed it was probably a pulled muscle. Can anyone please help me understand about this heart mur mur? thank you.
Avatar f tn I have no idea exactly what that is or what causes it. A lot of sites say high blood pressure but I have never had HBP my entire life. It was just 110 over 70 the last time I checked it at Wal-mart and even 2 years ago when I was pregnant my blood pressure was always great. So I would like to know what causes this and if it is serious or not. I called my oral surgeon and he pushed my surgery back to next week, but should I cancel it altogether?
1674823 tn?1307263620 HCM has a specific type of heart murmur and you say that you have had a murmur since childhood. All babies are born with a heart murmur and over time about 75% will lose that murmur as they reach adulthood. If your childhood murmur was caused by HCM, would would have been diagnosed with HCM by now as the disease gets a lot worse during the teen years when the body is doing a lot of growing and developing. The number one cause of HCM in adulthood is due to high blood pressure.
Avatar n tn hi, im 24 and recently found out i have a systolic heart murmur. i know what a heart murmur is, but im not really sure what it means for me. is it something i should worry about? iv had an ecg done and i havnt got the results yet but i think it looked like it was reg sinus rhythm.
1401138 tn?1280788265 I am a 54 year old female. I have known for several years that I have a heart murmur. I saw a new doctor on Friday and she advised me that I have two heart murmurs. Is this common? Is it anything to be concerned about? I am scheduled for a stress test on Thursday. Thanks for any information.
Avatar f tn SORRY I DID'NT EXPLAIN MYSEL VERY WELL, HAD A FIV IN NOV, HAD ECHO IN FEB, DUE TO LONG WAITING LIST I HAD TO WAIT, ECHO SHOWED BOTTON SIDE OF HEART ENLARGED DOWN, PLUS AT THAT TIME THEY THOUGHT WAS A VSD. HAD TO WAIT AGAIN DUE TO WAITING LIST FOR MRI WHICH SHOWED ATRIUM AND VENTRICLE ENLARGED DOWN 1 SIDE OF HEART, THEN I WAS INFORMED I HAD TO HAVE A TEE TO FIND LOCATION OF THE HOLE WHICH I AM SURE YOU MUST HAVE HEARD OF BECAUSE OF YOUR CHILD'S HOLE.
Avatar f tn I'm a 19 year old female. The other day (approximately 3 days ago) I was working out at my crossfit gym. I got off the rowing machine from a somewhat intense rowing session. I felt fine but then as I sat down, I started to get dizzy. My vision completely blurred, I couldn't see straight or even make out faces. In addition, my lips and finger nails turned blue, my face completely pale, I had trouble breathing, and my hands numb.
Avatar f tn For instance in children, blood pressure and heart rate normally vary with age. While blood pressure tends to get higher with age, heart rate tends to get lower with age. In addition, a taller person tends to have a higher blood pressure because more "pressure" is needed to pump the blood around the body. And it is not clear how that would effect right side pressures.
Avatar f tn My doctor found the heart murmur though the stethoscope and I have to get an echocardiogram done to makem sure it doesn't become serious.
Avatar m tn As far as the metoprolol goes, the two indications for that drug in this situation, that I am aware of, are for heart rate and blood pressure. If you can get off the drug without any adverse effects on your heart rate or blood pressure, then maybe you can do without it. You're on a low dose, so it's hard to see that it could be doing all that much, anyway. I would ask the doctor for a trial off of it, to see.
Avatar n tn but yes there is a correlation between murmurs and irregular beats. the heart murmur actually causes them, but if the doc says the heart murmur is nothing to worry about dont worry. everything you experience is benign and if you are having lots of them and they bother you, the doc will probably give you a beta blocker or something of that manner...hope this helped...
491828 tn?1305319780 Dizziness after waking up in the morning could be from low blood pressure which i think is nothing to worry about. Do you get rapid heart beat only when you think of your heart mumur? the reason for this question is maybe you are feeling a bit anxious about all this and a way that this shows is by not being able to relax and having a fast heart beat.
Avatar f tn I don't know what they mean by abnormal QRS based on the settings in the machine? An abnormal QRS could have many underlying causes including heart block. Also, the murmur is a sound, but the severity of the murmur isn't listed. You don't say if you have any symptoms. You are dealing with the weight issue, but the stress is just as high in risk.
Avatar m tn A dramatic drop in your systolic blood pressure — the higher number in your blood pressure reading — may result in lightheadedness or a feeling of faintness. It can occur after sitting up or standing too quickly. ■Inadequate output of blood from the heart. Conditions such as partially blocked arteries (atherosclerosis), disease of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy), abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) or a decrease in blood volume may cause inadequate blood flow from your heart.
Avatar n tn Stress can also be a underlying problem for high blood pressure and can damage the heart.
924388 tn?1244230288 They never found a diagnosis of the nails becuase it would never happen while i was in the doctors office... When I was younger they believed me to have a heart murmur, but now when i got into the office they hear it sometimes and they dont. The only time my heart, blood pressure, etc. was measured was when I went to the emergency room but most of the symptoms had died down by then.
Avatar n tn I had an echo done to see if a heart murmur was harmless or not. My murmur was fine and everything with my heart was good except my pulmonary artey systolic pressure was at 35. I am freaking out. Is this treatable and what can I expect?
Avatar f tn I am an 18 year old female and since i was a child I have had a heart murmur, this has never bothered me until a couple of months ago. Recently I have been experiencing pain in my chest as though someone is stabbing me constently and with it, my chest becomes tight and i struggle to breathe. This can happen both when doing physical activity and when relaxing. I am constently on the go and until experiencing this pain was always active playing lots of sport.
Avatar f tn I have been told i have high blood pressure 157-95 ...doc also said i have heart murmur in 2nd systolic....
1674823 tn?1307263620 in ventricular wall thickening was not marginal between those times I am told it has gone from below 12 to 13 . My blood pressure has it seems been about the same for over 20 years Why should one be concerned to know if it is pathological or physiological Each carries a different risk and approach borderline hypertension and 'physiological ' LVH carries little risk compared to pathological hypertension.
Avatar f tn my grandson is six weeks old and has been diagnosed with a heart murmur. Is there someone there whose baby has had the same symptoms and what to expect. Thank you.
