Advice for a 30 yr. old male w/ heart murmur

by dionwisn, Nov 05, 2009 07:13PM
Im a 30 year old athletic male who was diagnosed with crohns in 2001. I've had stents put into one of my kidneys to protect from becoming compressed by my small intestine. I have lived 90% of my life exercising and eating healthy. Five years ago my Dr. noticed a murmur, and said it sounded like blockage. He was my gastro Dr. and I really never worried about it. Well five years later now with no insurance and still symtoms im concerned. I've  had this murmur for years with no shortness of breath, chest pain, or any signs of seroius problems except the murmur and some kidney pains. This has happen for years. My concern is im in the process of getting a job that offers insurance since this could be costly. Is there any reason I should act quickly since its been this long and I exercise 4 days  per week and cardio 3-4 days a week. Can i wait another 4 months to get insurance or should I not risk and pay out of pocket to get some assurance. When i went to my family care dr. he said if your not having symtoms of short breath or pain wait to get the insurance and then get looked at. But im not sure.
