I know I have talked about a heart murmur a few things, but I thought I would fully explain it. Hope you find this interesting...

A heart murmur is when a vole in the heart does not work properly. It can as be a small in the heart. Now I never quite understood which I had. If I understand correctly I have the hole in my heart.

A heart murmur is on a scale from 1 to 5. 5 is the worst. I have a 1. My grandfather (not by blood) had a 3 or 4. My grandfather did not discover his until he tried to enlist in the army. I discovered mine much sooner in life. I discovered mine in 4th grade. Most people think it would be great to not have to run or do the stuff I can not do, but they do not realize what it is really like. All I want to do is run, but I can not. 

When I was younger I thought I had a hereditary heart murmur, but then I discovered that I was blood to my grandfather who had the heart murmur. The only cure for a heart murmur is a pace maker, but a level 1 and 2 heart murmur can not get one. A level 5 has to have a pace maker. A level 4 will most likely have a pace maker. A level 3 is 50, 50 chance on having a pace maker. 

A heart murmur can get worst over a life time. Like how I think mine is getting worst. I just talked to my about that last night, but I may not be able to go to the doctor until November when I turn 17. That is when my annual appointment is. 

I last went to get my heart looked by a heart doctor in the up state in elementary school. I was in 5th grade at the time. I was suppose to go back after 4 years. It was been 6 years since 5th grade.

My heart murmur has prevented me from doing a lot of stuff. I have cried many times, because of it. I never let people see me cry when I do. It is hard. 

If anyone would like to ask me any question about a heart murmur please comment. I would happily answer any questions anyone has.
