heart murmur in infants

[parveenjahan]

My baby is 3months old and has a heart murmur. what are the effects of this what will happen in later stsges for such problems. is there any serious issue.

if your baby has an innocent murmur, then there really isn't anything to be concerned about. has she/he been seen by a pediatric cardiologist. my now 4 year old ahd a grade 6/6 murmur. meaning that they grade the murmur by loudness. I could put my eat on his chest and it sounded like a washing machine. he had a huge hole in his heart, it needed to be suergically coreected at age 3 months. he nows has a grade 1-2/6 murmur(very soft/quiet. when your baby gets a fever or is running the murmur can get louder and that is normal. most murmurs are nothing to be worried about. my 9 year old ahd one and it went away when he was 6.  my 4 year old has other cardiac issues going on but they are not realtaed to his murmur. also my brother is now 39  and still has a murmur and he can do everything anyone else can do he loves to hunt and fish.
I hope this helps out and your primary doctor will be able to keep an "ear and eye" out for anychanges to her/his murmur
good luck
