heart murmur

by thundersnow, Mar 24, 2008 08:43AM
I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum! there is so many! I just wondered how bad heart murmurs are?

My doctor said I have a systolic murmur grade II and that she was writing to the hospital to request an echocardigram. She mentioned that she was not writing it as an urgent request. I obviously was like...omg whats gonna happen. and she said there is a massive specturm of things that could cause it. she mentioned increased flow and valve problems. And what made me worry even more is that she said "don't worry, your not gonna drop dead...yet!" :S anyway I've been waiting 2 months for an echo...still not even got an appointment date!

thankyou!
