Benign heart murmur acting up
by Loraine__0__0, Oct 25, 1998 12:00AM
I have been told I have a benign heart murmur which every once in awhile I experience, may be once a week. However, for the past three days I have felt it off and on in sometimes long runs lasting the entire day. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Dear Loraine,
Thank you for your question. It is unusual for someone to be able to feel a heart murmur and I would suspect that you are feeling something else. What type of symptoms do you have?
