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 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.

Avatar n tn My friends puppy of 5 months has just been diagnosed with a grade 6 heart murmur. What are her treatment options and chances for survival? Did waiting a few months to take her to the vet cause a death sentence for her dog?
1402901 tn?1283134912 Our dog has been diagnosed with a heart murmur. The vet said it's getting worse. She's about 5 or 6 pounds overweight and we only take her for short walks now. Her legs tremble quite a bit now and then. Other than low-salt diet and medication - what can we do for her? Thanks for your time!
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 n tn I've had a murmur for decades and never experienced any heart pain.
Avatar m tn “Heart murmurs can be present at birth (congenital) or develop later in life. A heart murmur isn't a disease — but murmurs may indicate an underlying heart problem. Most heart murmurs are harmless (innocent) and don't need treatment. Some heart murmurs may require follow-up tests to be sure the murmur isn't caused by a serious underlying heart condition. Treatment, if needed, is directed at the cause of your heart murmurs.
Avatar n tn Many years ago I was diagnosed with a minor heart condition (heart murmur/floppy valve) although it has caused me no problems since. For over 10 years I have been taking amoxycylin before dental scaling etc to prevent infections and wondered whether this was still necessary as a precautionary measure.
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 Most murmurs can only be heard with the assistance of a stethoscope. A murmur may be heard in a normal heart, and may not necessarily caused by a structural defect in the heart itself. Murmurs may also be the result of various problems, such as narrowing or leaking of valves, or the presence of passages between chambers of the heart. Elevated blood pressure may not be related to 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 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 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.
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 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.
1227909 tn?1267853479 My husband is a geno 1 also, currently on his 68th week of treatment. He not only has a heart murmur, he has cardiac artery disease, but it did not prevent him from treating (once he passed the EKG and stress-test). Nonetheless, it would be very important for your treating doctor to be aware of your murmur and monitor your blood counts closely.
1303813 tn?1303159362 My boyfriend has a Heart Murmur will that get passed onto the baby, Although his Murmur ISNT genetic.. No one knows where his came from.... Will it get passed onto my baby? ALSO I have O R Negative blood and my boyfriend is Positive. What will happen cause I hear it can be dangerous, My mum is neg and my sisters dad is pos and my sister turned out Pos too and my mum nearly died because of this and her placenta ruptured.
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 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?
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.
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.
