“That’s an interesting murmur you got there.” So said the PA as she moved the stethoscope around my chest.

“I’ve never had a murmur before.” My dad had a murmur, which eventually caused him a lot of problems, but he was born with it. I couldn’t believe that a murmur would hit me out of nowhere, like a Mack truck barrelling down the highway.

But my doctor is going to schedule me an echocardiogram when she gets back from vacation. I personally don’t think she’s going to find anything. It just seems so improbable to me. And I don’t want to think about what would cause it. It could be nothing, it could be heart disease, it could be something the doctors have missed all along.

I’ll go to my echo, and see what it’s all about. Hopefully it’s nothing.
