I have heart murmur but I didn't have any surgery since the hole is small. The cardiologist said that I will need a surgery to close up the hole eventually since it will increase the risk of stroke as I get into old age.

I have it, but it doesn't interfere with my life (so far). Hope all goes well for you. :)

I have one, nobody's said anything at all to me about surgery.

yes - a flow murmur, arrhythmia, and mitral valve prolapse. I have had some complications in the past. I've noticed it's worse with stress. In fact I put off going to graduate school because I didn't think my heart could take it so soon after undergrad. I have to be careful about stress levels in my life.

I had congestive heart failure with blood presure 270/110. They said I have a heart murmer, an enlarged heart, high blood preasure, all caused by undetected kidney disease. 8O

I recently went to the doctors about suspected heart problems. I don't have a murmur, although an occassional abnormal rhythm.

I think I had an enlarged heart when I was a baby. My mom told me about it and said that I had to take medications for a while.

I don't know if it's a murmur, but I have a weak heart and I can't get too stressed or overworked or I have chest pains and occasional hot flashes.

In high school for several months I had to wear a monitor with a bunch of suction cups all over my chest with a huge cellphoney thing on my belt that sent my info to the cardiologist.

I've had abnormal rhythm for a while. Nothing was done about it though since doctors never caught it happen (it happened occasionally) and it stopped after a while. I think I still get a little abnormal rhythm when I go to the gym and flex my muslces too intensely. It stops right after I relax my muscles though.
