Every time I went to see the doctor I was told I had a heart murmur but that it was no serious. Good thing I have a Fantastic Doctor who immediately refers me to a specialist when she anticipates trouble. I have just started seeing a cardiologist as of Apr 16, 2009, who has immediately prescribed another EKG at his office and confirmed that I have a heart murmur/arrhythmia and is going to prescribe a more efficient test that involves watching my heart in a TV screen? Why did the previous doctor tell me it was nothing? I was in my 30s maybe that's why. I am a 61 year young "obviously od" who has and still suffers from Fibromyalgia since I cannot remember when, but was diagnosed on Apr 27, 1998 and it disabled me by Sept 28, 1998, on my birthday:( lol Have been on so many medicines it is not a joke. Last and this month I have endured "carpal tunnel" on left, then right hands. I was told it would make me feel better, God Please Bless me and all who are cursed with this excrutiatingly painful syndrome. Thank God I have such a Great and Professional Doctor.
