Avatar m tn 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 m tn Another way for a wide pulse rate is aorta (output vessel) insufficiency caused by regurgitation, (backflow of blood into the pumping chamber rather than pumped into circulation) is significant, there can be a drop in diastolic pressure. 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 m tn As fortis said, there are different types and different degrees of murmurs. Quite a lot of them. To learn the implications for anyone of any age, it is necessary to get back to the doc who diagnosed the murmur and ask him/her for much more information.
Avatar f tn The former, you are way to young for that to be a problem and the latter, you would have known about that by now, if it was bad enough to cause chest pain in you. As far as the murmur goes, many people, as adults, still have the murmur that they were born with. All babies are born with a functional murmur which generally, but not always, goes away after the first one or two years of life.
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 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 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 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.
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.
Avatar f tn sinusal bradycardia 48 bpm,right brunch block incomplet,10 PVC, signs of left and right ventricular overload, signs of left atria overload. Are these arrhythmias dangerous for my heart? I feel that my heart stops frequently,is it dangerous? I overcame abdontlaly my fc max of 193 to go over 200 (215 here) is it dangerous? For my heart a simply walk of some minutes causes over 200 bpm.
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 I believe most cases of heart murmur are totally benign, nothing to worry about. I also believe most people are unaware, so there's not even any discomfort. I do not know if there are any relationships between a murmur and irregular heartbeats, but it sounds like you're on the right track to find out with the medical attention you are getting. Let us know what how your tests come out, what they show. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Atrial fibrillation does not typically cause any heart murmurs.
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 n tn For some insight, a stethoscope listens to blood flowing through through healthy valves in a healthy heart and do not require treatment. However, heart murmurs can be caused by blood flowing through a damaged or overworked heart valve. 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.
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 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.
942557 tn?1272694819 A herniated disc does not cause external swelling that you can see or feel, it causes pain/stiffness in the neck or back and wobbliness or paralysis in severe cases. The rapidly changing heart murmur may have been related to abrupt changes in blood pressure if it was an allergic reaction or shock, but there are alot of odd unrelated symptoms that you are describing, and I think an examination by the internal medicine specialists at UT is a good idea to get a different perspective.
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 m tn This is a symptom that should be checked out by a doctor. It's called pulsatile tinnitus and has many possible causes. Do an online search for "whooshers" for more information.

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 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 I have a 50 yr old Down syndrome female with hx of ulcer, heart murmur, Aortic Stenosis, GERD and a Thyroid conditions. She comes into my office everyday with c/o chest pain and says she's having a heart attack or similar. She is communicative, and one of the higher functioning females in the program. But she tends to complain about every scratch, bruise or even sunburn she gets. She has never appeared in any respiratory distress.
Avatar m tn My 6 year old daughter was diagnosed with an "innocent" murmur as an infant. She has pulmonary valve stenosis. The last time she saw the cardiologist was when she was 4 and everything was fine. The murmur was still there, but her heart looked great. The dr said she didn't need to come back until she was 9. She also has 2 bleeding disorders.
