Common Questions and Answers about Heart murmur in morning

Avatar n tn Not everyone with a murmur has heart disease, in fact it is pretty rare, but it is important to evaluate. I would recommend refraining from exercise until he has a cardiac evaluation. Over all his risk is probably low, but there is no reason to take any chances. I don't know the numbers on how common murmurs are but I would guess greater than 5%. It depends on what the murmur sounds like and that is where experience matters. You should not feel badly.
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 I had a chihuhahua that had a heart murmur for 10 years died at the age of 17 due to old age and other problems not heart.
Avatar m tn Heart murmur is still there and it hurts when she plays basketball and sometime when she is doing anything.
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.
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 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 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 n tn I've had a murmur for decades and never experienced any heart pain.
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 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.
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 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 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.
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 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.
506570 tn?1215836300 I just took my 7 week old Alaskan Malamute puppy for his first vet heck and vaccination. The vet listened to his heart and immediatly told me he suspected a heart murmur. 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.
Avatar n tn I recently had a pre-op physical and the Dr. not my normal Dr. picked up a heart murmur. I have had a history of SVT and on Atenalol.
Avatar n tn hi, im 24 and recently found out i have a systolic heart murmur. i know what a heart murmur is, but im not really sure what it means for me. is it something i should worry about? iv had an ecg done and i havnt got the results yet but i think it looked like it was reg sinus rhythm.
Avatar n tn Immediately after the ablation I was told that I had a grade 3 systolic murmur best heard at the 2nd intercostal space. I have never had a murmur before. Looking at the paperwork the morning of the procedure it clearly states no murmur. I wanted to know if this was something to worry about or if it is something that is normal after this type of procedure. I also had a second AV node that was ablated during the procedure.
1303813 tn?1303159362 Well first I don't understand how seeing a doctor would result in loss of employment, or for that matter that the employer would even know - don't tell. There is really nothing you can do that is better than get your partner in to see a doctor. You are listed as in the UK, so medical care is provided by your government, right? Thus, the cost should not be a consideration if one is looking for reasons not to do the correct thing. You mention murmur, and I wonder how that is known.
Avatar f tn Could my baby be born with heart problems I was born with a hole in my heart and I have heart murmur my hole closed but I still have heart murmur I sometimes pass out when my rthym changes so my doctors worried when I give birth I might pass out should I be worried.???!!!!
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 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 For the past year or so I have been getting a stabbing pain in my heart. And at random my heart will beat faster or will slow down and will beat hard for a few beats. I do have anemia, and when I was little(1-4 years of age) the doctors said i had a heart murmur. I'm 16, 5'2" 95-103lb(my weight changes alot) I don't get stressed that often I do work out. And so I was wondering if i should be worried and is there any heart diseases that I could have.
Avatar n tn What this tells me, is that the heart murmur must be very very slight. And, with a slight murmur in both of the babies, it is very likely to be a genetic thing. If only one of the babies had a heart murmur, I would think there was an abnormality that should be looked into. I, personally, if they were mine, I wouldn't even worry about it especially if they were playing and eating normally. There are people that are born with heart murmurs, too.
