Can Heart Murmur In A Pregnant Woman Have Anything To Do With Pain In The Top Of The Left Arm?
I'm a 30 yr old female pregnant with my 3rd baby. My youngest was born 11 yrs ago, so its brand new again. I've been experiencing severe pain in the top of my left arm for a straight week. I do have a heart murmur.... Could this have anything to do with it?

Dear Member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
considering the fact that you had an uneventful pregnancy and delivery you may not have heart disease. murmur can be caused in pregnancy due to increased blood volume, thyroid problems, low haemoglobin.
murmur of heart with normal echocardiogram indicates some other cause for pain in arm.
Thanks.
