Hi, yesterday I went to my doctor for a regular check up. I feel fine and I thought that I have nothing to fear. The doctor listened to my heart and heard unusual sound. He told me that I have heart murmur. He scheduled a bunch of tests to determine the cause of heart murmur. I am scared what this could mean. The doctor did not explain why Heart Murmur is dangerous. I am thirty seven years old man. Can you tell me how Heart Murmur develops?

Hi, Heart Murmur is a name for the sounds your blood makes when it flows through the problematic heart valves. Your doctor probably scheduled an electrocardiogram, a chest x-ray and echocardiogram. All this exams must be done in order to determine the cause of the Heart Murmur because it can be a sign of serious heart conditions. However in most of the cases the heart murmurs is a normal occurrence, but you should consult with your doctor just to make sure.
