Heart Murmur

[Frankie123]

Hello, need some help. I am a 69 year old female. Went to the docs about something else and came out finding out I have a heart murmur which may be due to a scarred up valve. Currently awaiting an echocardiogram. I am so frightened of what they will find and what the future is for me. Does anyone else have any experience of this.

Lots of people have heart murmurs and they're not aware of them until some doctor or other discovers it.. Maybe this is simply the case with you. Try not to worry unduly - you don't know the full story yet, & remember there are many drugs & treatments out there for heart conditions, if it does turn out to be anything.
