Avatar n tn Of course you can have pain and a murmur. A murmur in and of itself does not create pain. However thousands of women have murmurs for a lifetime and develop no further problems. Yes. people can have other cardiac related issues that will cause pain, but in terms of making a differential diagnosis, pain is not a defining issue in diagnosing a murmur.
Avatar f tn If the doctor reacted by listening a bit harder, ordering some follow-up tests, and suggesting alterations in lifestyle, then the murmur is more pronounced and will need to be monitored closely. In young children, it is not uncommon to have a pronounced murmur correct itself over time.
Avatar f tn Hello, Murmurs reflecting normal heart function can be heard in young people, in thin individuals and in pregnant women. Patients with anemia or an overactive thyroid may have a murmur due to the dynamic circulation. So get your hemoglobin levels, thyroid function tests and an ECHO heart done to confirm the diagnosis. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
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 A heart murmur can be something that is developed, and or born with but not noticeable enough to catch until later on in life. A Heart Murmur is something that generally fixes itself as time goes by. My husband had one at 4 months of age, and it closed by the time he was 2 years old, and hasn't had any complications from it.
Avatar f tn Its normal in pregnant women . I had one when i was borned , it went away n is back now. They will do a EKG on u to make sure everythin is ok. It wont put ur baby at any risk n it doesnt mean the baby will have one when its borned...atleat dats everythin my doctor told me .
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.
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 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 f tn Many times a heart murmur is heart with a new born, but goes away. Also, there is an innocent heart murmur and are common in children and almost alweays harmless. An innocent murmur may go a way and then return and some adults still have them. Innocent murmurs are common in children and are quite harmless. In any group of children, a large percentage is likely to have had one at some time. Innocent murmurs also may disappear and then reappear.
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 n tn I started noticing about 4 months ago that my heartbeat felt unusually strong at certain times, as if it were overcompensating for a certain level of stress of activity, and quite often I will feel rather SOB. I happened to notice what I perceived as a very loud murmur in (i believe) the first heart sound over the region of the right atrium/tricuspid area, center of the chest and slightly to the left.
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 believe most heart murmur conditions are caused by a leaky valve or chamber wall. In the case of the wall, I think that is the type murmur that people can "grow out of", i.e., as the child grows the heart leakage grows shut. I have never seen anyone comment on physical trauma causing a heart murmur. I would guess there is no correlation to the accident you describe and you having a murmur.
491828 tn?1305319780 Hi, i am 19 years old and in Janurary i was diagnosed with a heart murmur. I was sent for a chest x-ray and had an E.C.G and the results came back normal. The reason this all came about was becuase i went to the doctors for dizziness which i still have now. 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.
Avatar m tn As your dog ages, all muscles in the body may become less toned. This reduction in tone includes the heart. The murmur may increase with age. Your best bet for prognosis is to eventually have a cardiac workup including echocardiogram, EKG, chest X-Rays, and bloodwork. Heart medications, if necessary are very effective and some can even help to prevent further deterioration.
Avatar f tn I have open heart 4 years ago they replaced 5 arteries I went for my yearly check up and now have a heart murmur is this normal to get so long after surgery and can the murmur be why I am sleepy all the time
Avatar f tn My heart flutters are from a heart murmur (from Birth) so am used to them by now lol. I suffer with Bradycardia and Tachycardia from the heart murmur. Good reading here though...great to see some connection in regards to the diaphram too.

Avatar f tn Will the heart murmur go away? Also, I play Rugby, will the heart murmur interfere with Rugby? Thank you for your time.
Avatar n tn My question is how often do I need to have my heart and valves closely checked? I have had no other symptoms other than the heart murmur, which is only caught occassionly. Do I need to make this part of my annual physical, or should it be done more/less often?
862849 tn?1239150571 i have a few issues going on at the moment so i have been back and forwards to doctors,i had a catheter ablation done almost a year ago for svt,a few weeks ago when i was being seen at hospital for a gynea problem the doc mentioned a heart murmur when listening in,could this have resulted from the ablation??i never had a murmur before this.........and what symptoms can a murmur cause as i have been very breathless at times and my voice has been hoarse for weeks.....
Avatar f tn HI, I'm 23 years old and i was born with a heart murmur. I was told i had to stay for i "think" about a month in the hospital till it closed up. well i started having problems with it at about 9-10 years old. so i was taken to some doctor who said he was able to detect it. my dad informed the doctor i had gotten scarlet fever when i was a little younger, and so the doctor said that prob. caused it to open up again.
Avatar n tn No, it's not bad news. It's good news that this was found and that you can get it checked out. A lot of people have heart murmurs that are considered "benign;" in other words the heart murmur doesn't mean anything and won't hurt the person. The reason for you to see a cardiologist is to make sure that's all it is. Probably you will go once and not need to go back.
