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 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.
2177836 tn?1355173877 Heart murmurs during infancy are very common, most babies will outgrow them. It has something to do with the valves not closing quite evenly and most of the time is completely harmless. I never outgrew my heart murmur but it doesn't cause me any problems as an adult.
Avatar f tn I have a slight heart murmur that I was diagnosed with at birth. I just wanted to know if it could affect me in any way?
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.
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 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 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...
Avatar f tn Starting with the murmur. There can be congenital anomolies. Such as the interior walls of the heart, the valves inside the heart, or the arteries and veins that carry blood to the heart or out to the body. Then there are Innocent heart murmurs and are sounds heard when blood flows through a normal heart. These murmurs may occur when blood flows faster than normal through the heart and its attached blood vessels.
Avatar f tn Atrial fibrillation does not typically cause any heart murmurs.
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 m tn My wife has a flow murmur. I want to know the causes and the remedy for the flow murmur. What should be done to get a complete picture. EKG and stress check has been done, but we want second opnion. Any guidance would be appreciated.
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 My six year old son went in for a check-up and a heart murmur was discovered. The PA ordered an ECHO to be done. I just got a call from the office saying that the Tricuspid Valve has trival regurgitation with RV pressure at 21. They left a message that I can just have it watched or that I could have the office send my son to a specialist. I am at awe at what to do. I left a message for someone to call me back so I could ask questions about this. What does all this mean.
Avatar f tn I would recommend getting your daughter's heart checked out by her pediatrician and finding out if she has a heart murmur. If she is saying that she is getting some pain then it is best to get it checked out. My daughter is 5 and she is very thin as well and I can feel her heart beat pretty rapidly (Which is normal in children , especially when they are running..) But it is best to have the dr. check it. My daughter has a heart murmur but at the time I am told that it is innocent..
Avatar n tn Some common conditions can force your heart to beat faster, changing the rate and amount of blood moving through your heart and resulting in heart murmurs. There are innocent murmurs and 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. Most innocent murmurs disappear when a child reaches adulthood, but some adults still have them.
Avatar f tn I took my 2 week old daughter to her 2 week check-up with her doctor and was told she had a heart murmur. The murmur was not picked up at the hospital. The murmur is only heard on the left side, but can be heard from the back and side as well and they said it was loud. The doctor also said that it was only heard on the systolic cycle. She has never been blue in her lips, she has a pulse in the femoral arteries and she eats fine.
Avatar f tn Cardiac problems can prey on the mind. They are not difficult to fix if caught in time. Years ago my GP worried about my inverted T wave, though I have recently read that the position of the electrode is one possible explanation. I have always had a slight heart murmur from the mitral valve. Several years ago my atrial and ventricular rhythm got out of sync so I had a pacemaker installed in a hurry.
Avatar n tn I've had a murmur for decades and never experienced any heart pain.
Avatar n tn Our job as cardiologists is to determine whether that murmur, or sound, is associated with a heart defect or is a “normal” or “innocent” murmur. The murmur is caused by turbulent blood flow for some reason. Normal or innocent murmurs are associated with normal turbulence and have no heart defects; they're very common, occurring in 2/3 of all children.
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 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?
