Discuss an EKG 12 lead screening test with your physician. Most likely there is no cardiac issue, and the exact details of the murmur is important information. A benign flow murmur is a commonly found incidental finding. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and fatigue. A virtual consultation with Healthtap is available.

If I listen to a kid often enough I will hear a murmur at some point. "Mild" murmur is doctor code for they don't think it is a problem. If you are concerned schedule a visit with the kids doc and discuss the worries you have. It may be you both have anxiety over the label. It might be there is a real issue the doctor needs to explore.
