Can you get heart murmur from stressing?
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi everyone,
Since April I started to feel a pressure on the left side and started to lose quite a lot of hair. So I went to check it out, they only discovered a physiological heart murmur and they did the typical blood work and ekg. Everything was normal and my thyroid level was also in the normal levels but they noticed I had slightly higher heart resting rate than what I normally have.
I can't know if I feel more tired or get more exhausted because since I got hyperthyroid, I had trouble with always feeling exhausted and don't have a lot of energy as I had before. So I get easily breathless when I'm really tired which is totally normal for me because I always feel tired. So some days I feel more tired than other days.
So if you get heart murmur as adult and never had it before, can it be just because of stress or is there something else that can cause it? Is it normal for adults to get heart murmurs, I'm 23 years old.
But I haven't felt more stress than what I normally do.

In answer to your question, "can you get a murmur from stress", not likely. Murmurs are either functional in origin or from a diagnosed cardiac abnormality. Hyperthyroid can definitely cause
an accelerated heart rate, make one's hair very dry and could potentially cause some cardiac
issues if it is not treated as soon as it is diagnosed. Many people, by chance encounter for another health issue learn they have a physiological (also referred to as an innocent murmur) murmur that is not associated with any cardiac disease or abnormality.

My thyroid was treated, I'm still eating my medicines and will later remove my thyroid. Just don't want to do the operation while studying because I need to stay focused and don't want to handle pendling between hyper and hypo.
I didn't have a heart murmur when my thyroid was acting. I only had palpitations and could get adrenalin rushes and had a high resting rate. So my level of thyroid hormones are in normal range and have been staying the same the last 2 years.
We checked the thyroid level because my doctor also suspected my thyroid was acting up again. But everything was normal and no new changes of the thyroid.
Is it normal that you feel a pressure when you have heart murmurs, it just feel like a small cramp? So a few postion when I lay in bed can make me feel a pressure that can make me start coughing, I can't lie on the back or on the left side but I can easy ignore the pressure.. Because my doctor suspected it's an innocent heart murmur but I'll be doing ultrasound of the heart when covid-19 calms down, just to make sure it's an innocent heart murmur.
What can cause that you get an innocent heart murmur?
