Hi
I dont post a lot these days but read when I can
I was told I had a heart murmur 2.5 years ago after I had a funny turn at work
I had an ecg,echo and 24hr monitor before being told my murmur was benign
I have been having terrible neuralgia pain on the right side of my head and eye and ear for a months now and its got severe recently so much so that Im in tears most of the time
I managed to see a dentist today as over the past two weeks my tooth has been sore at that side.She gave me xrays and said she can see a tiny bit of decay but thats all.
She noticed on my medical sheet that I had a heart murmur and said depending on the type of murmur I might need anti Bs before any treatment.She got in touch with my Dr who told her that I would need the antibiotics.Im so worried now,why do I need the antibiotics if the murmur is benign?I thought they only did this for people with valve defects etc.I know what they are for just worried I have a heart condition that I didnt know about :(
Also,they cant do any treatment until later next week and thats as an emergency!!
Can anyone help?
TIA
