Risk factors include family history, genetics, aging, high blood pressure, diabetes, stress, smoking, diet and lack of exercise. Symptoms include being tired, dizzy, short of breath pounding in chest, weak, sweaty, nauseated faint or feel and irregular pulse. A holter moniter or event moniter confirm the diagnosis. SVT is an arrhythmia from the top chamber. VT comes from the bottom pumping chamber.

Wow! I had no idea that "Heart Murmur" could get that complicated. 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.
