Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

A murmur is just: a sound the blood makes as it passes through the heart. There are many different types of murmurs and most of them are completely benign (not indicating disease.) Things can change and people can develop a murmur because of disease but it is unlikely at your age. Hypertension can cause a murmur as well. Have another health care professional confirm the findings before you become too anxious.
