Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
On christmas day my mum was taken to hospital with chest pain and the docs found she had a heart murmur and have refered her for a heart scan next week. She has a doctors appointment tonight to discuss what happened and I have concerns that she has quite a stressful job which involves quite a lot of lifting. Should we mention this to the doctor or are we overreacting ? My mum is only 56 Thx Clarabella I ve suggested she pack the job in but she likes being active. Each wednesday she has to sort around 150 charity bags lifting etc and I think its too much
the type of the murmur should be established with the cause.sometime stress and hard work can cause serious conditions because of the murmers.Murmers are usually because a heart ot a large vessel valve does not open or close fully.you should do mention it to the doctor,and I believe that if you dont mention it he will ask her.
