fine. he checked my blood pressure etc and listened to my heart and said all he could hear was a slight murmer.
Im just thinking now, I should have asked him should I have not got any murmer at all as I had a heart valve repair
I would have thought the murmer would be gone.
Does anyone have a murmur still after heart valve repair..
I had such a small jet of regurgitation left after the repair that it didn't produce any murmur after surgery. But now after the exertion I mentioned, murmur appeared and regurgitation on echo got sworse. I am now waiting for second opinion.... So, you need echo and cardiologist opinion, preferably the one who saw you after the surgery...

He said its common enough to still have some sort of murmur after surgery , he said that the echo is the real test of how it is and how I feel.

Doctor Castro: A murmur is very common. A murmur is just a little sign that there may be a little bit of turbulence or abnormal flow through a valve. That is the first signal that you need an echocardiogram. The echocardiogram needs to explain what that murmur might be. In patients who’ve had valves, the valve prosthesis, if you will, meaning either mechanical heart valve, or pig, or bovine or cow is an abnormal tissue that is suspended within a stent, within a frame. That in itself produces a sound that we interpret is a murmur. The most important thing about that patient is that he does need follow up because a murmur is just a murmur, the images on the echocardiogram determining whether or not that murmur is pathologic, meaning the valve is getting narrowed or is leaking are more important. So I am sure that valve is fine.
