Question 2

can having palpitations while having a heart murmur be a sign of something bad?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends to a large degree what the cause of your heart murmur is. Some are benign. Some are not. Palpitations are present in nearly everyone sometimes and their significance depends on the underlying health of your heart. An echocardiogram and Holter exam would go a long way in determining if yours are serious.

Question 3

i was diagnose with a heart murmur years ago, now i recently started having palpitations.?

Accepted Answer

No way to tell: Most murmurs and palpitations are benign but there is no way of knowing from the limited information given. See your physician.

Question 4

having heart palpitations randomly (last 2-10 min.), mostly at night before bed or if i get hungry during day. dr also says i have benign heart murmur?

Accepted Answer

Arrhythmia: The fact that you have been told your murmur is benign implies that you have had an echo that showed normal valve function and normal heart strength.  Irregular beats of any type in a healthy heart, tend to be fairly benign.  A 24 hour monitor may be helpful to see exactly what is going on.

Question 5

ok so i drink a lot of pop. i have heart palpitations & i have a heart murmur but i seen my heart doctor and my hearts fine. what could it be ?

Accepted Answer

Palps and pops: First since your doctor says your heart is fine, stop poisoning yourself with 'pop'. If you are smoking or using other substances like 'pot' or other; stop that. Don't drink more than one cup or coffee a day. Get regular daily exercise for at least half an hour and if things don't improve go back to the doc for more steps.

Question 6

i have heart palpitations every morning, anywhere from 85 to 120 bpm, they usually wake me up between 5:30 and 7:30 am every morning for the last 3 months. i dont have shortness of breath and no pain. i do have a heart murmur but dont take meds for?

Accepted Answer

: Reasons to wake up at night like this include sleep apnea, or other medications you might be taking such as BP meds that are wearing off in early morning.  If legs are swollen during day and go down at night ask your Drs about congestive heart failure.

Question 7

i have a slight heart murmur & anxiety. dr told me not to google it. i took baby aspirin a couple days because of quick sharp chest pain likely from my gastritis. now i'm worried the aspirin may flare gastritis or flare my palpitations, is it safe?

Accepted Answer

: I don't worry that aspirin will halt or cause cardiac irritability, but it can cause or aggravate gastritis. Have your palpitations been checked by wearing an outpatient heart monitor to determine whether you're experiencing true cardiac arrhythmias?  If they are identified, are they high grade serious or benign and a nuisance? If they bother you, beta blockers may suppress them. ?See cardiologist

Question 8

heart palpitations and diahhrea. i have a heart murmur but i seen the heart doc not to long ago and everything was ok. i did have low potassium level.

Accepted Answer

Restore potassium: Your potassium must be restored to normal before anything else. Additionally your RBC magnesium level needs to be checked and also followed as the magnesium level affects potassium level and both can precipitate arrythmias. The diarrhea probably caused the initially low potassium. Make sure you don't have an infection. Meantime rehydrate with an electrolyte drink to restore fluid and minerals.

Question 9

can a heart murmur cause a seizure in 1 year olds?

Accepted Answer

No: A murmur is a physical and not a disease. Its audible turbulence . It can be from a valve problem, shunt, fever, etc its not the murmur that caused the seizure its the underlying problem that caused both.Would need more info to be more specific.

Question 10

should a heart murmur cause concern in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: In many normal pregnancies a heart murmur can develop as a result of the increase in blood volume that occurs during pregnancy. The vast majority of heart murmurs are harmless but in rare cases, they may suggest a problem with the mother’s heart valves.  A physician can  evaluate your condition and determine the cause of a murmur and whether it is something that needs further treatment or concern.
