Hello everyone.A cloudy and drizzling day here with some fog. I did my workout and then some.Decided to come home and do some baking. Just my a chocolate chip banana bread.I make this once in a while. Chocolate chips.Some snub their nose on this.But have not tried it. This afternoon go to my cardiologist follow up on my heart murmur. Will be having an echo test.I know that murmur is cause by a leaky valve. To bad they can find a way to stop the leak with out cracking open our chest.Or to they put a stent?Lot of questions to ask the Dr.I had this murmur for some time. My primary doctor was concern.Not sure what he heard.But will find out. Have a good one.

I hope the diagnostic test result will be normal. Don't think so much about it for now. Try to relax.

@Tampa_girl.Have they been following this.Every years or so you should get a follow up on this. Your still young there.For me is the age with the valve leaking and stenos. But if your feeling fine that is great.Many people have murmur.Just have to keep an eye on it

I have this too but I am not affected from it, so there is nothing to do but grow old and have open heart surgery..... I hope all goes well with you and you can put it off for many more years to come.

@marlina The test? it is only like an ultrasound.They look at the monitor to see what is going on. I have by surgery ten years ago.At my age not sure if they will do a valve replacement. What did you go through there 3 years ago?
