could a heart murmur be a sign of pregnancy?

by HawaiianGirl, Nov 08, 2007 01:36PM
I went in to a clinic for a bladder infection, the doctor (which isnt my regular doctor) told me that she heard a heart murmur, so I went into my regular doctor, (because i had an allergic reaction to a medication), and she heard the heart murmur also... So I have to go see a cardiologist and take a few x-rays in a few days... I searched on the internet about heart murmurs, and a few sites said that pregnancy could cause a heart murmur.  Since this heart murmur is new, very new, and it is a great possibility that I could be pregnant... could it be a sign of pregnancy?

I personally have never heard that before. If you searched "heart murmer" and "signs of pregnancy" together you will probably get some website saying it's a sign of pregnancy. If you just search "signs of pregnancy" heart murmur will most likely not be on that list. But then again, anything is possible I guess, I have just never heard of it.

The only sign that is reliable is the sign you get on the pregnancy test.  Advanced pregnancy may (sometimes) cause a slight heart murmur, but certainly you are not advanced in pregnancy, nor is it any sort of reliable sign.
