Was diagnosed with heart murmur 2 months ago.They requested an ecg and echocardiogram,thanks to God everything is normal..hope this comment brightens someone's day.. Always pray everything will be alright.
I was born wit a heart murmur and I still have till this day I’m turning 18 In a few I am blessed to be alive thank god for keeping me on this earth for this long it’s hard to be happy when you can’t be active and do what you love most especially in time like this my anxiety is crazy and I wish I was healthier for these times
Yes but heart murmurs are innocent most of the time. What caused your heart murmur? I've got a heart murmur (according to a quick check at hospital and then a more thorough check. They said its an innocent murmur. I'm 31 now. But I had my checks at 23 when I used to have severe anxiety and panic attacks symptoms so I would visit the emergency often. Eventually they managed to pick it up. Yes, we are all lucky, by the grace of God we are here, alive and healthy. But don't worry too much
Why have you not had surgery to repair the murmur? I was 18 when I was going to join the military they sent me for my physical in Houston Texas and that's when they found out that I had a heart murmur that I was also born with. Needless to say I was not able to go into the military. At age 19 I had heart surgery repair done at John silly hospital in Galveston Texas by Dr Conti I believe he was the head of cardiologist at the time. This was many many years ago but anyways I am so glad I had the surgery done because like you said it is hard not having the energy to do the things you want to do but after having that surgery I have been fully energized and I am now almost 58 years old. After I had my surgery I was told I may need another one at age 50 but that has not happened yet thank God. I believe staying active is the key to a long healthy happy life. I wish you many blessings and I hope that you will find a good cardiologist that will do what needs to be done for you as well so that you can live a happy healthy joyful life.
I've had a murmur for most of my 70 years and it hasn't bothered me yet in any way (AMEN) but am told now that I need to get a valve or two repaired/replaced, so am watching these vids to find out more before the operation. Thanks for posting!
Come on Jonathan... You're joking with this statement right? Jesus (pbuh) and weed in the same sentence? Even if you weren't joking (which I hope you are) to worship Jesus (pbuh) won't serve you any benefit. Simply because he was a prophet of God and not the son of God. Thank you.
@@muslim3812Oh, he most certainly is the Son of The Most High. The True Gospels were written within 30 years of the eye witness accounts. And not 500 plus years later when Islam introduced their misguided beliefs.
This was so helpful! I appreciated that it wasn't complicated and busy. It was straight to the point and very understandable. Thank you for helping me study, and get a clear, well-rounded grasp of heart murmurs!
Omg... I'm in my last semester of FNP and never have I ever finally understood something so clearly! Thank you so much! I am a gardner so the water hose example alone was super helpful... then the parachute, tunnel, and cords was brilliant! Lord knows I need this!
I had this when I was a baby my mother said I almost died twice! I'm 13 now I still thank God for saving my life Edit: woah guys I’m 16 now, I didn’t even know people replied to my comment 🥺
DutyTime22 yes I was able to play every sport but the thing is I would pass out every time I try to hard to actually play but I’m here and they said I have a leak in my heart but hopefully I don’t have to have surgery again
I am living with mitral regurgitation for five years and my condition is now at severe stage and my murmur was first detected when I was 14 after having a bad chest pain and i was referred to a cardiologist and I am now 19 years old and will soon have an operation for the treatment and turning 20 soon. I had so many tests in 2017 and 2018 to decide on my treatment and my last test was MRI.
I have a heart murmur but the good thing is that my doctor said that I am good thank god🙏prayers for all of you that have this.don’t worry god is with you
One day I went to the doctors to get my physical bc I love basketball and the doctor checked my heart and said I have a heart murmur today I went to the cardiologist my heart didn’t sound very good just praying it will be fine and go away honestly I just wanna get back on the court and grind but praying🙏🙏I’m 15 btw
I always thought I had aortic stenosis per my childhood cardiologist, when people ask me about my heart murmur because it was so prominent. During my 3rd pregnancy with a echo of my heart (which I also had with my previous pregnancy) I found out I have a bicuspid aortic valve and coarctation of the aorta (it’s in the shape of an S). I am 29 years old and this was the first time hearing this.
This was nice and succinct. Thank you. I would like to know what are the typical causes or aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation? What investigation procedures are done to find out the causes of each problem?
Great analogy of the Mitral Valve regurgitation. I most likely wouldn't be here had I not the surgery done last year by my Super Cardiologist. If I knew then what I found out during all the tests and procedures as Heart Catheter(100% good results), eks, in depth x-rays at the hospital and surgeons office, if I only knew that a heart murmur worsens over time from wear and tear throughout history of cardiovascular activities beyond my maximum, I would have stepped back and take more water breaks. I was born with a heart murmur. Sharp pains worsened over time. O thought nothing of it as I'd never seen a doctor for it as a newborn, school age, did not know it was associated with this condition called Murmur, Enlarged heart. My parents didn't know. Had I listened to my doctors in my latter years for advice far sooner, I'd probably be a few steps further from mitral valve replacement. It makes me cry, yet filled with joy that I didn't have an extreme heart attack that result in death. Drs mentioned that it was resolved just in time as any active movement could mean heart attack. Heart murmurs no joke, sudden death can occur at anytime is why it's important to visit a cardiologist for monitoring, the heart is a muscle and we're not getting any younger so cardiologists are here for a reason, don't wait until are aged. Exercise and good nutrition still stands tall in my life after open heart surgery. My Thoracic Surgery show much of The Father's Love and Care before and after the surgery, The Father work thru his hands. I thank Heaven for sending the doctors to my rescue at AdventHospital. I like the way the video guy explains the regurgitation part. My heart would stop, and restart, I had ongoing fast paced heartbeats, irregular, that even at rest, I felt like I ran a few miles and out of breath. I was asked by the Anesthesiologist if I approved of rbc transfusion. I said no, this came as I was hooked up to every machine as IVs ekgs etc. I said no, no transfusion. I couldn't think right away to say I prefer to donate to myself now, after many years of rbc and plasma donations for others, I preferred my own for transfusion. Can't go wrong with my own type. However, that's what the donations are there for. And it's a beautiful feeling to give. Thank Yah for my family. I went through the surgery with the humble successful hands of the Surgeon and Team by the Grace and Glory of (Yah)weh. Now I'm free. Hallelu(Yah)
My 6month baby has a grade 4 murmur and tomorrow we find out when surgery is. Its been so hard with her being sick but threw all the life flights in and out of the hispital she is strong and with this surgery coming soon she will be a healthy baby again. Wish her luck .......emery guerrero
I had pneumonia and tachycardia 158bpm, in Feb, they treated both and the tachycardia with cardioversion once, and put me on Eliquis, metoprolol and amiodarone and it's been stable since around 55-60 bpm. The echocardio grams shows a mitral valve prolapse, which the report says Myxomatous degeneration mild anterior and posterior leaflet prolapse, moderate regurgitation grade 3+, left atrium severely dilated, tricuspid valve mild to moderate regurgitation grade 2+ PASP normal. I decided to inquire about valve repair, so the hospital cardiology referred me to a cardiologist surgeon in their bigger facility in another city, I go Aug 10th for a consultation. At 60, I'm thinking it's better to get this dealt with and fixed sooner than later since it can only get worse over time, and I have good insurance at work that may not be available to me in 5 years, also my deductable resets Jan 1st so whatever I can have done this year is better. I'm curious how this works with the surgery, I go for a consultation and I assume another echocardiogram then, and then do they just schedule surgery to do the repair or am I going to have to go multiple times for tests, scans and whatever? I'm wondering how long I would be in the ICU and hospital after, and then after going home how long I might be "laid up" unable to return to work?
Can someone tell me why something weird always happens it used to happen only once in awhile but now it happens one to two times a day it feels like my heart stops for like a second and it freeks me out it's such a werid feeling I hate it it will just happened out of no where (I'm 12)
Do you have anxiety? That causes those feelings,also caffeine can make it worse,at least for me,i use to have those types of pains but it turns out it was more of an esophagus type of pain, gerd and acid reflux
My doctor referred me to the cardiologist I had seen over 3yrs ago who told me heart murmur and recommended nothing for it. My doctor states she thinks she hears it a little louder and scheduled another appointment with cardiologist again as she suggested I take daily baby aspirin. I told her I didn't want to take anything and that I have had this murmur diagnosed when I was a teen and am still alive(turning 70yrs in 5 mos.) I am eating and drinking nutribullet juice with the pulp (per her request) and organic veggies and fruits as I eat some fish every 3 weeks or so, use virg olive oil, some coconut oil; all for over 4yrs. Any suggestions, please? She also sent me for appt to scan left breast which had been done over 3yrs ago; per most reputable cancer spec, she saw nothing there. This is stressful, planning to go keep appts. praying for no bad results.
Juanita Villarreal In Jesus name be praying for you but praise God you seem pretty healthy. Amen. If the doctor didn't recommend anything for it probably not anything to worry about. Pray and trust
*Juanita Villarreal* some heart murmurs are called *Innocent* & don't need any treatment. But *Please* always tell your doctor about *any other symptoms* & how stressed you feel about it all #Prayers *God Bless* ❤🙏❤
Will pray for you, seems like you are on the right path. Maybe you can help me, My daughter was diagnosed a couple of days ago and she took a lot of test everything came back normal, did or are you able to play sports or exercise? What should I be worried about? My kid is 12 years old and I’m very concerned and it stresses me out hopefully you can help me and her out since you have some knowledge of this Thanks 🙏🏽
How much difference would it make in my life if I had my murmur fixed? I have 2 holes in my heart from when i was born but over the years I'm running out of breath easily and getting chest pain but my doctor hasn't said anything. If I got it fixed would I have more energy?
I was diagnosed with a murmur and my cardio said I was fine but I have a lot of pain when my heart gets out of rhythm to any else that has one does that happen to you?
I had 2 heart murmurs in one day, at the age of 10. The first time I went to the ER asap and it was only a small one. About an hour later after getting home from the ER, I had another one, and was yet again rushed to the ER by my mom. Only this time, it was much bigger. I was in the hospital for a day that time. I was only 10 at this time. Here I am 2 year later know there are some holes in my heart, know it can happen again. I am very thankful that I survived this disaster.
I have a heart murmur and only discovered I did when I was at MEPS enlisting for the army I’m going back to get it checked but they said most the time it is nothing I have been a mostly healthy person all my life so I can’t see myself having any significant problems but we will see
i have murmer congentinal, i had surgery at 6 and then at 31, i didnt put the metal valve. so its still leaking but not as heavy, so now after 4 yrs , its leaking a bit more. so do i need metal valve? do i must do TE checkup in order to decide better?
Hi. my name is Tina. I was born with only 2 Aortic Valve & I have a Heart Murmur. My heart Dr. said, he just needs to keep a eye on it, but every time I go see him (my heart beats fast & my oxygen drops).It happens when I walk anywhere; clean my house; & it's really bad when I go up stairs. I just want to know what you think.he has me on Verapamil 360 mg. Thank You!
Sometimes I feel my heart swell up and feel like it pushes out of my chest and then goes normal. Almost like flexing a muscle. What is the meaning behind this?
You should get this checked out to make sure your heart hasn’t enlarged I’m saying this because my 12 year old daughter was just diagnosed with a heart murmur and did all types of test and having a enlarged heart was something they definitely checked for a could have been a big issue if it was, Thank God everything is ok. Get checked out it may save your life🙏🏽
I have had a slight Heart Murmur since birth, I'm 17 and, it hasn't been causing me any significant discomfort or shortness of breath, and my doctor says it's growing out of it overtime...
@@Soggymentos hey I just went yesterday so they can check me becuase on Saturday the doctor told me I had a murmur so yesterday I got check and thanks god I'm healthy my heart us healthy and not damage I do have a murmur but it's a small one and the doctor told me it will go away by itself. How old are u?
I am trying to understand the specific reason behind WHY WE WORKUP A ASYMPTOMATIC DIASTOLIC MURMUR AND NOT ASYMPTOMATIC SYSTOLIC MURMUR. Would appreciate any suggestions or clarifications.
I need a New water hole😁, Therefor, l ask GOD 2 heal my heart. Take meds and me and boy friend got back together. I am so happy,l walk better,breath good. Give all my worried 2 GOD Grace and Mercy,☺!reading the Bible tell u all about the HEART. 💗💗💗💗!
I was born with a heart murmur, I didn't start getting chest pains until the age of 8 and I just remember being in so much pain and I could barley breath because if I even tried to take breath I would feel a very sharp pain in my heart, it felt as if someone was stabbing a knife into my heart or as if I was having a heart attack. Does this typically happen if you have a heart murmur? I still get chest pain to this day, sometimes I go years without feeling the chest pain but then there are also weeks where I feel the sharp pain multiple times a day, is there any way to prevent these chest pains from occurring or anything that can cause them to happen more frequently?
Will hopefully go to the dr soon, however all of the sudden my heart will start pounding super fast and I find myself breathing heavy. Does it several times a day. I am anemic bu idk if that means anything
Khessie Baluyot I get you my 12 year old daughter was diagnosed last week all test came back normal but it’s still driving me nuts she plays basketball and exercise a lot what do you think is it ok to do these things or your not sure yet
My doctor said its not ok for me to do such things.. I should avoid of getting tired. And he said my heart beat is not normal anymore like before.. He cannot hear the normal beat, it totally sounds like the murmur. I dont what kind of murmur i have yet. And he said its a problem for me to have a baby.. In the future.. Im just 18 now.. :( its just that its really hard for me to accept i guess
Hello everybody, i need your advice,I get chest pain..2 months ago..I went to doctor he told me when I was born I have heart murmur, and my doctor advise to me to go for surgery..And I explain to him I can't do it..he gave me life time medicine (Concor Cor 2.5mg) now all most am takeing this medicine 10days..but the pain in my chest still same..And am out of mood.. please what you well advise to me..
I had aortic valve replacement almost 1 year ago oparetion. Now I have pre menopause. I have also pulsatile tinnitus. Hearing your heart beats in the night annoying.
Melly Z it goes away with weight loss of about 10 pounds. If you're not heavy set, then watch the food triggers. Ketchup, bbq sauce, canned vegetables and high sodium foods. Foods with high fructose corn syrup are notorius for triggering tinnitis
@@survivorinchrist594 I eat no salt at all except what i get through vegtables naturally. I eat a whole plant based modified diet and i have constant pulsating titinitus hearing my heartbeat whooshing in my right ear daily and i get dizzy whenever i eat and drink anything at all and I have mitro valve prolaspe since my late 20's my cardiologist at that time said i was probably born with MVP.
Me too. It may be harmless but i am disappointed that i cannot do things like runing for a long time because I'm out of breath within 90 seconds and it is sometimes painful. 😔 trust me i know how you feel ☺
Timmy k about 2 weeks ago my doctor said i have a really loud heart murmur. Im 13 and have been doing track for 2 years and soccer for 9 years and i am actually a very good distance runner. i wonder why i dont experience any exercise side effects with my murmur?
Wow my 12 year old daughter was just diagnosed last week she plays basketball but hasn’t since do you play sports or can you exercise her test cam back normal is it safe
😄Hiya Rohanna ..Your Doctor will have noted your *heart rate* whilst doing your blood-pressure. It *could* be anxiety related as you'd been diagnosed with the diabetes & high-BP... But If you're *concerned* or have any *other symptoms* please *always* go back to discuss it with your Doctor *I wish you the very best* 🙌😘🙌
