& wot is a heart murmur is it gonna happen often? I mean its been quite a few months since i had it now and im feeling fine. I excercise a LOT, my bmi is 19.5, im in a perfectly fit state, so i dunno why it'd suddenly start happening to me, i've only been smoking (ciggys) for around half a year if that and bud for around a year or maybe 3/4 of a year.

were you goin through high levels off stress at the time? maybe you didnt have a heart attact but a panic attact and and was experienceing some some very high levels of xzaninty! i go through that shit!! ( i know i caint spell worth a fuck )! peace

The scary thing is, you CAN have heart attacks that young. A 17 year old in my area died while playing hockey this year from a heart attack.

Hoping your alright.

Mate, i cant spell for shit either, i wudn't get worried over it... haha :P (like what i did there?)
i dont think i was stressed, i've never had any sort of problems with stress before, i've got quite an easy life... I was single at the time so it is possible but i really doubt it.

I remember going to the doctor a few hours before and he worked on my back because i have some problems with it, slipped it or something once and the muscles in my back grew back wrong so i tend to tense my shoulders from time to time without knowing.

But anyway, i went to him around 9am in the morning and he gave me some medication and said 'i shud be able to slip it back in a bit' and he started giving me a massage on my back to try and push it around or something, anyways, it FUCKING hurt and he was pushing pretty hard, im suprised it didn't snap! :P

Do you think he cud of caused the swelling around the heart? (it was definatly swelling i just dont know why)

cheers for the replies guys, yu may be saving a life... :P

goten could be right too. but a heart murmur is a hole in your heart. and if you have one you most likely had it since birth

dont tell me that bro! :P
im hopeing the pains will sort of just fade away cus i aint had any other heart problems before hand. I'll be sure to post if anything does change with it but i might go get it checked out for peace of mind sake.

the thing is what everyone say could be right. without a diagnosis you dont know. if you disagree with the doctor who diagnosed you go to another doctor and get a follow up. if the doctor said thats whats wrong with you, you should have had a followup appointment scheduled. i hope you get better but no one knows your body like you do and if you second guess the doctor get a second opinion. if i were you that what i would do.

Man its your heart, if you dont feel 100% about it. Then go to a another doctor and see what he says. You still got alot of life ahead of you, and you need a heart to make it anywhere.

Yeh your both right, i'll go down the gp and get it checked out, do a few scans or something. It'd probaly leave me releaved at the end of it.

Only thing is, it cud also tell me about something i dont want to hear, then i'd have to live with knowing i had something and who knows if it cud be bad or very bad and think of the additional stress. Its the like the question if yu had terminal cancer, would you want to know you had it? or would you prefer to just not find out and live your life normal until one day you die?

Quite a big question, wot you guys think?

Id want to know how long I have left, So I can quit my job and spend my remaining live doing whatever I love to do.
