Heart

Hello please someone help I'm 44 my mum died last year at the age of 63 suddenly it came back she died from left ventricular hypertrophy which caused her to have a cardiac arrhythmia and die I've been so worried what if it happens to me been for a ecg and xray and echogram all came back fine except I have a slight murmer I'm just so scared all the time I can't live my life all I think is when am I going to die

I was told that I had a murmur in my mitral valve when I had my army medical in 1952 when I was 18. In 2011 I was found to have aortic stenosis and had my aortic valve replaced the next year and I’ve had LVH since at least 2000. And I have a 4.4mm aortic Aneurysm diagnosed in 2004 and probably a few things that have not yet been diagnosed and I’m not dead yet. Fear does more damage than your murmur probably ever will . Murmurs are very common and people lead a normal life with them.

I’m sorry to hear that thank you

I don’t worry about things like that. The porter wheeling me down to the operating theatre for my valve replacement said that I was the calmest patient he had ever had.
I said yes but I’m not like this when going to the dentist :slight_smile:

Lol xx
