They gave him a EKG and a xtray and all looked fine, and in a couple days he's having a echogram, any ideas bros??

I've had stuff like that for years. If the doctors say he's ok, chances are he is.

You have had heart murmurs for years??? these things gooo away? need all the info i can get for this guy.

heart murmurs aren't too big of a deal.... if his doc clears him he's fine.... and i also find it highly improbable that roids would cause this condition.

Lots of people have heart murmurs. They are almost always nothing to worry about. The echocardiogram will clearly identify the type of murmur. Chances are that it is something that he has had all of his life and just never knew it until someone listened. However, without having heard the murmur I just could not tell you how serious it is. The chest pain is likely unrelated. How old is your friend. If he is young, does not smoke, eats and of course excercises, and does not have a significant family history of heart disease, then it is likely nothing. However, it is probably wise to have a cardiac stress test performed to be sure. The use of gear is not likely to have any relation to the murmur. However, it undeniably increases the risk of heart disease (i.e. heart attacks).

A heart murmur is just an irregular beat of the heart.

EX: beat beat beat beatbeat beat beat beat beatbeat

If you have one it is with you all your life (as far as I know)

I was told I had one when born. Only time it EVER bothers me is around new years day hung over as butt and ehydrated to hell! My heart flipping beats like a tomtom drum

Other than that unless it is diagnosed as a very bad one it should be nothing to worry about.

Not to step on your toes eagle, but an irregular heart beat is an arrythmia not a murmur. A murmur is a sound that is produced from a flow abnormality such as a hole between the two sides of the heart or a malfunctioning heart valve. It is certainly possible to have both an arrythmia and a murmur, but the two are different entities. The arrythmia represents an irregularity in the conduction system of the heart which causes it to contract. This can be more serious than a murmur because it can cause you to have blood clots in your heart which can dislodge and go to the brain causing a stroke. That said, the majority of arrythmias are pretty harmless as well. Anyhow, just some 411.

Heart murmurs are freaky. Your heart beats thumpity THUMP thumpity THUMP thumpity THUMP thumpity THUMP THUMP thumpity thumpity thumpity thumpity thumpity THUMP! And that last thump can feel like a cannon ball in your chest... and believe it or not it is so normal and common place doctors don't even care about it.

Can one develope an arythmia over the course of a lifetime. Just curious. Or is it something you are born with?

Ok well I got it wrong thanks for pointing it out tho! Karma to you.

If I rem correctly I have a tiny hole somewhere in my heart= the murmur.

However I must also have the srythmia since my heart goes thumpety thump wierd like sometime also
