Pulmonic Valve Blood Rush

I just needed to tell people who would understand.

Before bed last night/the wee hours of this morning, I stethed myself. I have the Stethophone app since I don’t have a stethoscope right now. I had my Bluetooth headphone cranked to full volume and it was on the bell setting. The headphones were vibrating with the force of my heartbeat. It was incredible.

I started moving around to listen at different spots and different angles. I managed to land directly on my pulmonic valve and I was actually able to hear the blood moving through it.

It was the most incredible thing I’ve ever heard. I wish I had recorded it. I’m eager to hear it again ASAP.

My favorite valves are the tricuspid and mitral, but often, when I'm short on time or can't fully expose my chest, I open the top buttons of my shirt and listen to my pulmonary valves. Even when I listen to a woman, if she's a little hesitant to uncover her chest, I focus on her pulmonary valves.

Last night, I listened directly to my wife's pulmonary valve with my ear to her chest. I could clearly hear the valve closing and opening, and I could feel her heart contracting, which made my head bob.

Reminds me of a young woman 22 years old at the time that I had the pleasure of stething many years ago. She was very petite, 4' 9", 95 pounds, little 32A breasts. It was her first time to be stethed bare chested since she was a little girl before her breasts started to develop. She said I was the first man to see her topless. Everything inside her was so easy to hear with my cardiology steth. She had a visible pulsation over her aortic arch, between her breasts at the base of her sternum, and at her PMI. Didn't have to guess where to place the steth! I teased her about her "beatimg breast" because her firm little left breast moved ever-so-slightly with each beat. Not only could I hear all four of her heart valves opening and closing, I could hear the blood flow in her aorta. My all time favorite of all the women I've stethed, Also got to do her first-ever breast exam.

My lady friend as a rather loud murmur of her Aortic valve. I have listened to it using my Tycos triple head steth and also my Littmann Master Cardiology. Her lungs are clear. However, her blood pressure is elevated at 152/92mmHg. She will be seeing her doctor for a complete physical soon.
