Anyone with a murmur or heart disorder?

Could you post a recording of your metal valve? I'd be interested in hearing what it sounds like.

Don't know how to do that. Sounds like one of those big clocks with the secound hand like you see in a school

As far as I know I only have an innocent sinus arrhythmia - when i inhale it messes up the rhythm and throws in an extra heart beat but nothing more than that. I do get PVCs when I walk the treadmill.

Actually, have never heard any heart disorders of any kind on a person before (live or online) so am very curious about it

Just returned home yesterday after a week long stay in the hospital from open heart surgery, I had my Mitral Valve repaired.

Back in '92, I had some heart trouble. Was taken to the hospital and had to have angioplasty. Was back in, in '03 and that time they did the angioplasty with stent placement in an approved heart hospital. Have tried to have a heart attack, have NEVER had an actual attack.

Seems a rather strange thing to say that you've tried to have a heart attack! Why would you want that?

@ Rocdoc: I never went into a full blown heart attack, and just tell the way the doctor explained it to me. I just started to have an attack but it never progress any further. There is a name for what I did have, I think it was called Angina.

I have a bicuspid valve and I have been going to the cardiologists annually since I was a child. I had my check up recently - echo, EKG and auscultation. Glady I'm all good for another year 😉 I once had about 5 or 6 trainee doctors who listened to my heart, I remember feeling a bit flushed by the end of it

Do not have a heart murmur myself, but did examine a patient once with a fairly loud murmur. He claimed it was benign, but it was loud and got worse with exercise. Primarily showed up in the loudest in the aortic and pulmonic areas. Sounded like quite a "whoosing" sound. Was very interesting, but told the guy he should probably get it re-checked.

I have mild tachycardia

I have a mild mitral murmur...nothing to worry about...but my heart was beating like mad when I had the echo done!

@cindy: Mine was that way too! I've had two echos, and it never failed to race/pound during both.

@pat...yeah, same for my two! Even though I'm in a gown, still being topless sets me off...no matter how many deep breaths I take, it doesn't help!

I have an Ectopic heart beat which means every now and then my heart will beat an extra two or three times instead of the once. My Doc said it is quite common.

I have just been diagnosed with heart block and have had a pacemaker fitted, was fainting once or twice a year, But as for exams it all done by computer!

I also have an enlarged heart with mild tachycardia

Yup, coronary artery disease. I've had 4 heart catheterizations and visit the cardiologist quarterly. No excitement there unless there's an EKG involved (once a year). I never even take my shirt off for auscultation.

I have a mild murmur and an enlarged aorta, but nothing serious yet. They do a benchmark each year for any changes. They do an echo test each year, sometimes a stress test and always a CT-Scan. The CT-Scan is interesting because the injection makes me warm starting at the top of me and going down, and truthfully gives me also a very very very warm feeling in my rectum and anus. That is interesting, ha, and also fun.

With my shirt off for the echo and EKG it embarrasses me some ... I like tit play and my tits get really hard and stand out in this situation. Often I'm thinking the practitioner is thinking, "is this guy nursing a baby or what!" LOL!

Too funny, recently none paid much notice, but some years ago the lady doing it sort of stood back with widened eyes, she couldn't take her eyes off of my hard nipples! It was like wow, this guy has really hard nipples!

I was diagnosed with something called POTS syndrome earlier this year, which causes excess tachycardia when standing, walking or exercising. I'm on a small dose beta blocker to control it and I will follow-up with a cardiologist annually. I am hoping to recover from this, as it is possible for some people.

During an echocardiogram a little mitral regurgitation appeared at the color doppler, I always listen to that valve with my cardiology stethoscope and sometimes I think to hear a soft systolic murmur and a little click.

Lately I have been having PVC's, or premature ventricular contractions. I have had several ekg's and am scheduledfor a nuclear stress test and echocardiogram in two weeks. Not eexactly looking forward to it. Worried about what they might find.

Functional murmur at the pulmonic area in my adolescence. Otherwise healthy😃

I was diagnosted (sp) with irregular heart beat about 5 yrs ago. I was told then and since don't worry about it other than have it checked with my yearly physical. I'm active with softball 3+ days a week plus other activities. I have never had a problem with it.

Bachmann's Bundle is blocked and or missing and causes A-Fib and A-Tach episodes. Will be getting a Pacemaker in about a month and a half.

My heart is pretty slow all the time and sometimes after workout it beats erratically. Then there are a few fast beats then a little pause and a really hard beat and then it beats normal until the next fast beats come. But this happens pretty seldom and my gets to a normal rhythm when it slowed down again.

Weird disorder here but dad told me its normal so when I stopped worrying about it, it kinda went away.

I drink a lot of coffee and go running 3 times a week, so after running (and 5 cups of coffee), my heart used to skip beats. Like one really strong beat and then it felt like it stopped.. got me really worried. It never hurt or anything, just felt weird. When I stopped worrying about it, It stopped though and sometimes only happens when Im really tired now.

I have had a functional heart murmur from birth. Being functional, it has no apparent effect upon my physical performance. I won most of my wrestling matches by exhausting my opponent; I have ridden my bicycle over a hundred miles in a day; I commonly used to ride 30 miles a day. Currently my workouts are on an upper+lower body elliptical, where I burn 585 calories/hr, my current goal being three hours.

When I was a kid my family all ready had a history of heart issues on Father's side, I was always pretty hyper active so one day I was in the hospital for some blood issues or something and a nurse did a resting EKG on me , after that I was hooked they never did tell me after being stethed if there was any other issues

I was diagnosed worth SVT about 13 years ago, which was not concerning to my dr. I started getting episodes which scared me so i went for a physical and she also sent me to a cardio. Now, I get it only every once in a while, but also every single time I eat any carbohydrates. So as a result I cannot eat any thing made with flour, bread, or any grains because it triggers it and I feel awful.

Your diet is better than most people's because your carbs are limited.
