Hi Lilow,

Just wanted to tell you that my hub had a similar experience. During a routine physical exam the doctor said he could hear a murmor, so referred him to a cardiologist. Went through all the tests and a lot of worry to be told that they found nothing. We were a little worried though because his Dad died suddenly of a heart attack at 64. But we were also told this was not a risk factor for him.

So I guess what I am saying is that sometimes doctors air on the side of caution. I would go with what A&E said, nothing wrong and try to put it all behind you.

Hang in there and take care
