Heart Murmur

[li10up]

From what I've been reading online most heart murmurs are nothing to worry about. It seems it all depends on the sound and when they occur during the heartbeat. Since he wants to do an echo I'm thinking that maybe he thinks mine is not so "benign". I had a severe bout of strep throat in college that he seems to be a little concerned about. Also as a child I had what they think was roseola but I understand that can be confused with scarlet fever sometimes. My mom tells me I had a lot of severe sore throats and ear aches as a kid...but who doesn't, right? And apparently the surgeon was quite impressed with the size of my tonsils when he removed them. Apparently the bacteria that causes strep and scarlet fever can lead to damage of heart valves. Anyhow, I'll get the echo done and then I think that will cover pretty much every type of heart test that can be done on a human being. This will probably turn out to be nothing but it's nice to know that I have a doctor now that doesn't just dismiss things as nothing without looking into them. Thanks for all the good thoughts everyone.

Sherry, what did it turn out to be?

PS. What's a chocolate fish????
