hi i also have a heart murmor/ arithmia i found out first a few years ago and apart from the odd dizzy spell it hasnt really affected me much, it has got slightly worse from being pregnant all that extra blood being pumped around but apperently it is very common and most of us wont even know we have it, im sure if it was something to worry about he would have been sent to the cardiologist for further tests.

My cuz has a heart murmor and it has never really give him to much prob's. But on a sad note, his brother my cuz, Ryan was never tested for one, and he sadly died at the age of 24 last year from an in large heart they are thinking he had a murmor and thats why he died from....Thats what they "think"...... I hope your friend finds her answer,and everything turns out Ok......
