Avatar n tn My questions can a heart murmur just develop in a 12 year old or should it have been detected before. She had lymes disease about 4 years ago and was treated with antibotics, is that a factor. Also she drank caffinated beverage before going to the exam and was extremely nervous because she hates goning to the doctors. Also she was about to start her period, could that have played a factor. We are so upset about this can you please offer some help or advice. We are going to the cardio next week.
284738 tn?1283106819 I know for a fact that my little bro had a heart murmur found at 5 months (his was a small hole in his heart), and it gradually over time closed up. I had one when I was younger, and by the time I was 14 I no longer had to see a cardiologist because mine had gone away. Low and behold, when I found out I was pregnant, my OB told me I had a heart murmur.
Avatar f tn My 3 year old has been complaining that her heart is beating tight and telling me that her heart is broken(She is behind about a year on her speech so she doesn't speak very well). It started November 15, 2013 when she was coloring before then she wasn't running around or anything active. Since then she has complained about it almost everyday most of the time more than once a day. I have taken her to the er they did an EKG said she was fine and sent us home.
Avatar f tn And when the murmur can disappear? I know what you mean for the murmur. But I live in China, I am afraid her murmur may be a trouble thing when she go to school. I am sorry too many questions... Thanks a lot, doctor.
Avatar n tn My 4 and 1/2 year old Black Lab/Chow mix was diagnosed with a significant heart murmur as a puppy. My mom took her to the vet after noticing her coughing. The vet said that she had fluid around the heart and placed her on Lasix and also said she'd be lucky to make to Christmas. I wondering if there are any other treatments available that might help?
Avatar f tn My 4 year old son first told me a few weeks ago that sometimes his "heart hurts" when he runs or walks. I asked how long it had been going on and he seemed to think for a while. I told him to tell me if he ever felt them again. Since then he's had 3-4 episodes of chest pain immediately after running or playing hard (but he has also run and not had pain). I asked him to describe the pain and he said "hard". Later he described it as a tickle feeling.
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 n tn I have an 11.5 year old blue heeler-type mutt that was recently diagnosed with a stage 3-4 heart murmur. I am wondering what to expect and what to do. Her blood work was find and I left the vet with a "wait and see" type of feeling. I would definitely like to be as proactive as possible and advice would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn My now 5 year old was born with a very large VSD he had a 6/6 murmur. the doctor right from the day we found out he was 3 days old when we found out, told us this would have to be surgically corrected in time he can't say when but not right at the moment. he was 3 months old when he had to have it done.
Avatar n tn Is it normal for my three year olds heart to beat normal a few times, then beat fast a few times?
Avatar n tn ALL babies are born with a heart murmur caused by a hole in the heart which usually closes up on it's own during the first year of life. Those types of murmurs are called Functional Murmurs and are nothing to be concerned about. Some babies have structure problems with the heart where different types of murmurs can be heard; those babies often times require surgery. The doctor is the best judge on whether or not the problem cna 'wait' or needs immediate attention.
1139665 tn?1382710950 m just a worry freak by nature but after reading a lot of info online I believe this is all normal. also after my second son I developed a murmur for about a year a I was told it came from the labor. it eventually went away and had not returned until mt third trimester of this pregnanct which is my fourth began.
Avatar f tn Hello I am 25 year old female who got diagnosed with a heart murmur. I will not have insurance for the next three months and cannot get to a cardiologist. My EKG was normal besides my QSR the dr said was printed out as abnormal based on the settings in their EKG machine. She said it could be by my young age. I have had chest Xrays before and all have been fine so no large heart issues. I am on toporol for high pulse because I have a desk job and had gained a little weight.
Avatar f tn I am a 26 year old female. I recently had an echo because my doctor heard a murmur. The results came back that I had a small pfo, mild mitral valve regurg, moderate tricuspid valve regurg, and mild pulmonic insufficiency. My EF was 55%. My aortic valve was trileaflet. I had gone in to the doc originally for fatigue. I had my second child 7 months ago. I had slight anemia at the time the doctor heard the murmur.
Avatar n tn Vets are stuck on the idea that my dog has congestive heart failure because of a heart murmur and enlarged heart. But he was diagnosed with that heart murmur and enlarged heart 8 years earlier. No coughing until the last 2 months. Also, antibiotics would have little to no effect on congestive heart failure. Dog gets much better with antibiotic but it comes back after the pills run out. This is getting ridiculously expensive. Nearly $1K in vet bills over the last 40 days.
Avatar f tn "Hi, my grandson who has gone for his regular check up has been diagnosed with a heart murmur. This a worry to us. Can anyone tell us what this is and what will have to be done. Thank you very much. " by dolfnlvr It depends. Heart murmurs occur when a valve does not close all the way and some blood can rush backward during a heart beat. It's called regurgitation (just like the regular regurgitation).
506570 tn?1215836300 He comment that is was only slight and wanted me to bring him back a couple of days later to let the other vet who works there give a second opinion. Upon a second opinion, the other vet confirmed a heart murmur. I was not given a grade for the murmur. Both vets did seem to think it was serious, even though the first vet wanted a second opinion because he said it was slight. One vet gave his opinion as to take the puppy back to the breeders and get a different one.
Avatar n tn Many normal children have a heart murmur. The doctor, with the help of tests, have diagnosed the murmur as innocent, normal and functionable. Because valve leakage is very common the probability is high for no medical problem. As part of the echo there is the doppler test that color codes the blood flow through the heart and provides a different color for any backflow (leakage) and the process is observed on a monitor in real time.
Avatar f tn I have a history of a-fib and flutter. I had a successful (so far) ablation done in January 08. During my last visit with the EP that did the ablation I was told that I have a heart murmur. This surprised me. I have never been told this before. For the past 3 years I have had echo's done every 6 months. Wouldn't a murmur have showed up on an echo? Can a-fib cause a murmur? If not, what causes a murmur?
Avatar m tn Anyway, I went to the doctor and he had a good listen. All of the sudden he said I have a heart murmur. He seemed pretty panicky about it and actually had to get another doctor to have a listen. She confirmed I have a heart murmur. Said that she can definitely hear it. I had an ECG and blood tests all came back well except for a high voltage on my ECG. The doctor said that I should probably have a cardiologist look at me. This would involve an echo.
374668 tn?1214338737 I am just curious to know this. Some People can have a small problem with their heart, like a small heart Murmur and later in life develop problems, because of family history. At this time, my doctor can barely hear my mummur, and sometimes you can’t hear it at all. Should I worry about heart disease?
