Heart murmurs.....any help appreciated!

[Jaycee]

DS had a heart murmur and irregular heartbeat that was attributed to an illness, it sorted itself out.

When I was at the doctor with him they explained to me that 90 percent of murmurs are innocent and people live a normal helthy life with them.

Hope your DD is one of those 90 percent

Unfortunately we've had a lot of experience with them too. I remember my son's cardiologist telling me how common murmurs were, and that a lot of children grow out of them in time. My son wasn't in that category and ended up having surgery. But the good news is that in most cases, it's not something they treat invasively.

My Ds3 who is 3-and-half has had a heart murmur since birth. No one (Drs) has ever worried about it, even though my DH has a heart problem (minor but there is family history of valve issues).

I hope it ends up being nothing to worry about.
