what is a heart murmer?

i dont know if i spelled murmer right, but what is a heart murmer?

my mom just now told me today that i have it, and i have no idea what it is. help...

kind of weird tho that she's just now telling me and just think my whole life i never knew. i wonder what else my mom hides from me about myself.

well you needto know exactly what kind of heart murmur you have. The baseanswer is this from kidshealth.org: The word murmur describes a swishing sound made as the blood flows through any of the heart's chambers or valves or even through a hole within the heart.

you can find out more by going to www.google.com and typing in "heart murmur". I would try to keep the lines of communication open between you and your mom... tell her you've been researching it and want to know exactly what is wrong, if anything... and ask her to tell you if there is anything else she hasn't told you...

thank you so much, that really helped.
