The cardiologist that she's sending us to has all the echo/EKG stuff right there in the office, so we'll have an answer before we even leave that appointment, which is nice to know. </p> <p>@littlek: Thank you! I just may do that, depending on what the cardiologist says! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heart-murmur#post-1170502 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 08:04:02 +0000 hilsy85 1170502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has a murmur that was detected at 2 months. We went to a cardiologist when he was 3 months and it was found to be an "innocent murmur"--basically one that is very soft/small. He did an echo, which LO handled fine. He still has the murmur, but it has no effect whatsoever on his health/activity level/etc. i hope your appt goes well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heart-murmur#post-1170489 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 08:00:11 +0000 littlek 1170489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: Feel free to PM me any questions. I have lots of experience with heart murmurs, since I have one. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heart-murmur#post-1170484 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 07:57:21 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1170484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it is a murmur that wasn't heard before, there are a couple of possibilities 1) it's a hole that used to be a big hole and now is closing, so you can now here flow through the smaller hole 2) a benign murmur akin to a bow drawing across violin strings. Usually I can tell this murmur by the quality of the sound and the changes with positioning.</p> <p>The cardiologist will listen and depending what they hear, might send you for an echo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heart-murmur#post-1170462 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 07:47:16 +0000 littlek 1170462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: I have a heart murmur. I was born with a hole in my heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heart-murmur#post-1170457 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 07:45:03 +0000 Mrsbells 1170457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I don't know much about it either other than what I just ready on wiki. Hopefully it is benign and all goes away!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heart-murmur#post-1170446 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 07:41:43 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1170446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't dealt with it but am sending you and D big hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heart-murmur#post-1170435 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 07:37:44 +0000 littlebug 1170435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had D at his 9-month appointment last night, and the pediatrician heard a heart murmur. We have an appointment with a pediatric cardiologist next week. Anyone have any experience with this? What can we expect? She said it may very well be a benign murmur and to try not to worry too much, but I am freaking out. :sad: </p>
