Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My girlfriend is 15 and she is what is known as a "miricle baby." Her heart is a little too big and she has a heart murmur + a hole. She went to the doctors the 29 of Jan and they said its too dangerous to operate. Is she in any danger? What can I do to help? Will it ever go away?
It is the hole that is giving the murmur as blood flows through.
If for now she is not having any major symptoms, then there is no much reason to border for now. If she is having blue hands, lips, tongue etc that will imply that her oxygenated blood is being compromised by the hole. If not, then she will be fine.
The one problem she has to be followed up for is the potential of developing infectious endocarditis which is common with hearts that have an existing condition.
Best regards Dr Achuo

Suggest Treatment For Heart Murmur
Hello thanks for using health care magic It is the hole that is giving the murmur as blood flows through. If for now she is not having any major symptoms, then there is no much reason to border for now. If she is having blue hands, lips, tongue etc that will imply that her oxygenated blood is being compromised by the hole. If not, then she will be fine.
