Question

My heart is beating fast after drinking a lot of water. Should it do that?

Answer 1

Heart beating fast: You did not mention your ethnicity. These found normal responses exp if you live where it is hot now. There is no such thing a mild LVH. Need to find out what they think is causing it. Heavy weight lifting can do it. But takes a lot. Discuss with your Dr.

Answer 2

No: Murmurs that are not caused by an abnormality are common. They are called "functional murmurs", and are of no concern whatsoever.

Answer 3

No: Not every heart murmur is associated with a heart defect. Most murmurs are "flow" murmurs, the sound of the blood rushing through the heart or blood vessels. But some indicate a serious problem with the way the heart is formed. If your baby's doctor hears a murmur, she might do a chest xray or echocardiogram. She will tell you whether it could be serious and whether it needs treatment.

Answer 4

No: A murmur is a type of heart sound the doctor can hear with a stethoscope. Whether nor not a murmur is a birth defect depends on the cause of the sound. If the sound is caused by incorrectly formed arteries, veins, or heart parts, then the problem is a birth defect. On the other hand, many normal children have murmurs but no defects (the murmurs are probably just from the flow of the blood).

Answer 5

No: The murmur is but a sound. Certain murmurs are characteristic of certain defects, watch: http://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=uh5u845zz2k.

Answer 6

Yes: This is true only if the murmer comes from an anatomical defect or immaturity of the heart structure. Blood does make noise as it flows through the heart normally and if heard is an innocent murmer which is harmless.In addition, murmers can occur if the heart is damaged such as from an infection-rheumatic fever for example.

Answer 7

No: There are many heart murmurs that are not malformations of the heart - these are called functional or benign heart murmurs, and usually represent turbulent flow of blood in the heart. Structural heart murmurs are the result of a birth defect that has caused an altered anatomy to the heart. Check with your provider if you have questions about which murmur your child has.

Answer 8

No: Most heart murmurs are simply noisy flow of an active blood stream, like water in a river after a rain. Pregnant women and rapidly growing kids make blood in large volumes, sometimes more than the blood vessels are used to, so the flow gets noisy. However, sometimes the noise is because there is something wrong or in the way. Ask your doctor to clarify which is true in your, or your child's, case.

Answer 9

No: Not a birth defect for a simple innocent heart murmur.

Answer 10

Depends: If the murmur is innocent, no. If the murmur is caused by a heart defect, yes.

Answer 11

Overwhelming: Are benign systolic flow murmurs...Diastolic murmurs however are not benign.

Answer 12

Depends: A big majority of heart murmurs in children are innocent ones (without heart defect). True pathologic murmurs are associated with heart defects, often a part of birth defects.

Answer 13

Murmur: A murmur is just a sound and not a diagnosis; most are functional or innocent, but some can be due to heart problems, congenital or acquired.

Answer 14

Depends : A murmur is simply a audible sound in the heart caused by turbulence . Its a physical sign not a diagnosis. Some birth defects can cause murmurs and others wont. Murmurs can be from restricted vales, leaky valves, communications between chambers, fevers, anemia etc. So if a pt has a murmur usually an echo of the heart is done with dopplers to further evaluate it

Answer 15

Yes: If the valvular abnormalities are present from birth, then they are birth defects.

Answer 16

Yes: Children's heart valve abnormalities are classified as birth defects if the abnormalities were present at birth, which is the usual case. A person can get a heart valve defect later, such as due to infection or trauma.

Answer 17

Some: A bicuspid aortic valve or a prolapsing mitral valve are present from birth. Many other heart valve abnormalities are acquired, either through scarring from infection, calcium deposition, or mal-apposition due to dilatation of cardiac chambers, among other things.

Answer 18

Circular muscle: The lining of the vagina(epithelium) is surrounded by circular muscle that can contract around objects and a potential space that can expand as well. Expansion projects include childbirth, sex and tampon placement.

Answer 19

Decongestants: Oral Pseudoephedrine is the most effective pill, but oral phenylephrine is the most available, because you do not have to have a driver's license handy to identify yourself when purchasing it. Both can disturb sleep. So at night a lot of people choose topical decongestants, for example afrin, (oxymetazoline) Vicks spray, 4-way spray, etc. Those sprays can be addicting. Spray antihistamines work well if allergic.

Answer 20

BCPILLS: Can cause rarely ht attack , blood clots, strokes, if you have ht problems you would need to check with both your cardiologist and gyn before using any type of birth control pill , depending on your problem and situation, some people can and some people cannot.
