Heart Murmor, Chest Pains and Death

Ok lets see where to begin. I was born with a heart murmor or so they say... some doctors hear it others don't... No one will do any test to see because it doesn't bother me, well i don't think it does. The last few nights I have been suffering with chest pains caused by horrible heartburn I hope... I used to have chest pains and the doctors always said it was heartburn but now I am getting older and I am a mom soon to be a single mom for a few months well like 6 months.. and It got me thinking is it really heartburn... am i having heart troubles what if I die who will notice and come check on me and check on my kids how many days will it take... yeah yeah i know I'm crazy to think about this but its something i need to know.
what is a heart murmor?? "Murmurs are extra heart sounds that are produced as a result of turbulent blood flow that is sufficient to produce audible noise. Most murmurs can only be heard with the assistance of a stethoscope." thanks Wikipedia!!! I am assuming I have what they call the innocent murmur...
"A functional murmur or "physiologic murmur" is a heart murmur that is primarily due to physiologic conditions outside the heart, as opposed to structural defects in the heart itself. Functional murmurs may be benign (an "innocent murmur")[1], mildly troublesome, or serious." thanks again Wikipedia!!!!



so i had to post a cool diagram of a heart mumur do I really understand it no but that is ok...

so I am making a doctors appointment to see if I can get this checked out... do I or don't I have a heart murmur... and if so do I have a good heart....

I will keep everyone updated... sorry for the grim blog but I had to get it out!!!
