Heart problems?

Question:

I've always had unimportant heart problems (heart beating too fast or too slow for a few seconds or things like that), but these occurred very seldom. Last winter, however, I was told I have heart murmur. I didn't care much, because many people have that problem. But now the weather is too hot and I have been feeling worse. Sometimes I feel pain, when I walk faster or when the weather is really hot. What does this mean? Is this normal? I'm only 22.

Answers:
What this means is GET TO A DOCTOR right away. You could drop dead as has happened to many other young people after they exert themselves. This can be treated successfully so don't panic but get to the doctor

I've been getting that. I'm not sure if it's a heart murmur but what it can also be is low blood sugar. When u have low blood sugar your heart can race or skip beats sometimes and your breathing can get more heavy. Try getting your blood sugar level tested at the doctor's office.

You're probably feeling pain because you're heart is beating too fast and you breathing is getting heavier - which is hurting your chest. I would go back in. They must have something they can give to you to relieve this. It can't be fun going thru that. I hope it all works out for you!

A murmur is simply an irregular heartbeat. It isn't necessarily a sign that things are bad. If you are having pain then you should get to the doctor bc you could have a clogged artery or something similar. If there is pain, then there is something not right. Try speaking with your doctor about it and ask him about an exercise program to help strengthen your heart. This will help with the pain associated with your activity. The murmur is common and usually nothing to worry about. That only is about the sound of your heartbeat.an irregular heartbeat.
