A member asked:
I have a heart murmur but my doctor told me it was extremely loud and protruding thorough my neck. i've been having palpalations and a fast heart rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart murmur: Heart murmur radiating to the neck generally indicates narrowing of the aorta. I suspect your doctor scheduled some follow up testing. Palpitations and a racing heart beat could be related if the heart is having difficulty pumping blood through a tight valve. It is important that you review any educational material provided by the doctor and proceed with the upcoming work-up.
