Dr. Barton Cook answered

Specializes in Pediatric Cardiology

Depends: Depends on the reason for the sound (murmur). A murmur is not a diagnosis, it is a sound you hear with a stethoscope. Ask your doctor if it is an innocent murmur, or if you have heart disease. And ask about exercise.

At my recent appointment for my arthritis, my doc told me he heard a heart murmur. I had it checked about 2 years ago, and it was fine. However, I'm wondering if it's bad that you can still hear it? Why hasn't it gone away?
