Suggest Treatment For Heart Murmur
I am 49 and have a heart murmur that has not impeded any activity in the past. Yesterday after a weekend of working on my house in the hot sun with no breaks for food and water, I woke up with a pain in my heart when I rolled over on my back. It subsided when I sat up, but I was pretty exhausted and slept all day. I felt fine by the evening. This morning when I woke up I felt a slight pain (not as bad as yesterday) again relieved when I sit up. I have a heart vitamin with coenzyme Q10, resveratol in it. I took one yesterday plus one aspirin. I have stayed home again for rest. I have no insurance right now. Recommendations?

Hello,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to the heart.
In my opinion, gastro-oesophagal reflux or a musculoskeletal pain could be the reasons underlying your complaints.
For this reason, I would recommend avoiding spicy food and taking acetaminophen for the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Hello,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to the heart.
Acid reflux or a musculoskeletal pain could be the main causes underlying your complaints, as your symptoms are relieved by sitting down.
Coming to this point, I recommend taking omeprazole for acid reflux.
If the pain does not improve, the next step would be taking acetaminophen, which would help in case of musculoskeletal pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
