Common Questions and Answers about Heart murmur in morning

heart

Stethoscope and I have noticed when I listen to my heart I can never hear my murmur unless it's in the morning. I am 100% positive about this. The murmur disappears during the day and returns most mornings. It is most audible at the mitral and apex area and I have been diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve. Any ideas why it only shows in the morning?

Well, yestertday my son stayed after school to get his sports physical and during that time we were told that the doctor hear a heart murmur. Now this makes me feel like a awful parent because during fall ball Andrew complained of a chestpain and said he just felt different. I just thought he maybe over worked himself and gave him some cold water and told him to take a break. He has never complained of anything else but I still feel awful. How common are these heart murmurs?

1) your teenage daughter has chest pain and fatigue (but you don't say if the chest pain is activity related or not), 2) she has a history of prematurity and a heart murmur (not sure if the murmur is still present, and not sure what evaluation she had by the cardiologist 3 years ago), and 3) there is a family history of heart attacks and strokes in adult members of the family. The first 2 parts of your comment cannot be addressed without more information.

I have had an ultrasound on my heart and nothing was picked up but my heart murmur. 3 months on and i am still dizzy, i think it could be my heart because sometimes my heart just beats really fast for no reason and then i get really dizzy. I am also dizzy when i first wake up. I was wandering what it could be and if they missed anything at the hospital.

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.

As far as the murmur goes, I xray quite a few babies with heart murmur and have yet to hear about a complication with the murmur. And these babies have become regular patients of our department. They come in to check up on their progress and happy to say that every baby and young child that comes in has had no serious problems. I wish the best for you and your child. Take care. I hope this message sent some comfort.

Also he was found to have grade 1 murmur. Can worms travel to his heart? Does the murmur put him at ahigher risk for complications? Is there anything I can do to help him pass stool? He still has an appetite and is drinking. Thanks in advance for any comments!

The symptoms you describe can be due to acid reflux and also due to heart murmur. Conditions causing murmur can usually be caught on ECHO-was this done? A murmur that comes and goes is usually not symptomatic. Consult a cardiologist regarding this. Also you can take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food. See if this helps. If this helps then it is acid reflux causing your symptoms. Take care!

Dear Rucnateb, I think an echocardiogram is an excellent idea, this test will help reassure you as to the cause of the murmur. A heart murmur is an abnormal sound caused by the turbulent flow of blood. This can be normal in some circumstances or caused by an abnormality in one of the heart valves. Your level of anxiety probably will not affect the results of the echocardiogram.

Monday afternoon, we took him back to the vet and he said that his heart murmur is between 4-5. He said that there is not much we can do about it. My husband is not willing to pay for him to have an specialist to take a look at my puppy. The vet said that the operation could fix his problem with his liver, but that his heart isnt good and there is maybe nothing that we can do because the 2 major organs of his body is shutting down.. I don't know what to do.

There are many different types of murmurs but the most common usage of the word is for an abnormal (either leaky or tight) heart valve. An 'innocent murmur' (also called a functional murmur or Still's murmur) is just that - a murmur that is not associated with an abnormal heart valve. These types of murmurs are common in children and are due to flow of the blood through the pulmonic valve. They are 'hum-like' in quality and disappear when the child stands up.

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.

I have an aPPointment March 8th with the lung sPecialist for Pulmonary artery hyPertension. I donot have the systolic murmur now.

Now my heart rate is normal during all thru the day and night. I only get PalPitations and feel like as though i will Pass out but I dont Pass out.

The doc also heard a heart murmur as well. He told me my blood proessure was fine and everything else checked out. He kept asking me if I drink a lot of coffee and I told him that I hadn't had any in more than 5 years, or alcohol, or tobacco. In fact, other than Ginger Ale, all I drink is water and milk. I have a VERY healthy diet in fact. I have never felt any symptoms of the skipped beats though, or at least I don't think I have.

My 6 lb, 13-year-old miniature poodle has been diagnosed with heart murmur, then pulmonary edema and was placed on Enalapril once a day and Salix three times a day. Since being on his Salix, his kidney are starting to have problems. At last check his BUN was 85. The vet said to place him on a strict starch diet with no protein. My problems is, is that he is very hungry. He will eat bread and crackles but still acts very hungry.

there said he had a heart murmur (2 out of 4) and that he needs to get checked up with a cardiologist. He's had physicals for 5 years now, and no one has ever mentioned it. Can you tell me what can cause heart murmurs? She said it was mvp from listening to it. Thank you.

However, I'm unsure of the risks when used by someone with a heart problem. Does a heart murmur add to the risk of pot use, and if so what is the seriousness of the risk?

I have irregular heart rate, rapid heart rate, diagnosed heart murmur and chronic shortness of breath (has these problems for five years). There are physical problems which were caused from repetitive trauma (that also resulted in severe PTSD with dissocative and panic symptoms). Are there any medications that I should be taking to treat the irregular heart rate? My heart rate jumps from 30 - 185 during regular exercise at the gym every morning.

But also it can be stress but just go to the doctor. a heart murmur is when your heart maybe leaking or even a hole in it and possibly death but it kind of depends!

i have a standing doc apt on the 23rd, and was just diagnosed with a heart murmur (abnormal), but after a long night of breathing problems, i freaked out this morning because, when i woke up my left hand was tingling, i readjusted and sat up right waiting for the pain to go away, instead it just intensified with complete paralysis in my left hand stuck in a fixed position.

htm This is one site. If want others, you can go to a search engine and type in Heart murmur sounds and get a fairly good list. You'd then need a good stethoscope and train youself to use it properly to hear your own heart sounds, but there are good tutorials under "Auscultation" in a search engine, like Google, to help.

ALL babies the world over are born with a hole in the heart and have 'functional' heart murmurs; almost all holes close by the time the baby turns a year of age. Those holes sometimes take longer to close in some people, some holes never close and for the most part do not cause problems for those people; if they do then those patients tend to develop some degree of heart failure. The hole would have to be a bad one for that to happen.

Given your young age it is very unlikely that what you are experiencing is a result of your heart. A murmur is an extra heart sound, if a doctor has not previously diagnosed you with a heart murmur it is unlikely that one is present. The diet you describe is probably not the most healthy diet and some of your symptoms may be the result of some gastrointestinal (stomach) problem. You may consider going to a family physician for a routine physical examination, ECG and cholesterol measurement.

I went to my doc the next morning and she was concerned. She found a new heart murmur...a small one...and did not seem so concerned about it.....but she did some blood tests...one was a d-dimer to "rule out" a pulmonary embolism, blood clot, etc. Well, it came up POSITIVE. So, doc called me at home in the evening and had me go directly to the emergency room for a ct scan with contrast. I am not at all good with this stuff....i get very anxious.

The nuclear stress test indicated that I had a 'small zone of angina', but the cardiologist did not prescribe anything and discontinued the aspirin therapy. I also have a heart murmur (mitral valve prolapse). The 'regurgitation' was apparently within normal limits. I have to have the nuclear test done again next year and will see the cardiologist again at that time. (I dislike the nuclear stress test as the stress is chemically induced and the pain resembles heart attack symptoms.

Dear ALL: For more info regarding my experience and knowledge of heart murmurs and PVC's/PAC's, please refer to my comments under "PVC's and Murmur". Thanks.

Also, at times, when I wake up in the morning, my heart feels like a race horse, and at other times, my breathing becomes very diminished. Also, I was on an exercise bicycle last week and it monitored my heart rate----it went from 50bpm to 102 bpm very fast, but lately my heart rate has been going up and down like a yo yo for no reason. The dr. in the hospital said the rapid heart beat could be coming from the aortic valve since it has to work harder. Is this true?
