Answers:
Let me just start by saying I know how scary this is!. My son was born with a rare heart defect that was diagnosed from a heart murmur when he was 6 months old!. Now in saying that Heart murmurs are actually quite common in children and most of them are not a cause for concern!. I could explain but check out the site it explains everything in detail!. http://www!.bchealthguide!.org/kbase/topic!.!.!.
also if you ever need to talk or have any questions there is a group on i village and our children have heart related issues and they are very supportive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was actually born with a heart murmur as well!. Children are very often born with one!. Its basically to my recolection a hole in the heart!. I eventually grew out of my murmur which is extremely common, and it closed on its own!. Quite regularly they occur because the heart hasn't completely formed before birth!. Not to worry the specialists know what they are doing!. I mean look at me like I said, I was born with one and now I'm a healthy 23 yr old kid!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hello,
It is good that they are caughting this while he/she is young!. Heart murmur can heal!. Just pray that it will heal and he/she should not have any problems!. You must be concerned that there is nothing else going on with your child's heart!. But like I said at least this is being looked at now and you can know what you have to do in the future!. I pray for the best for your little one and know that they will be okay!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

OK, just try and remain calm!. The specialist will do a complete work-up on your child and let you know what exactly is going on with the heart, what to expect, etc!. Try not to automatically think the worst!. After all, you'll be seeing a specialist and will be getting the best treatment for your child!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
