While Suffering From Heart Murmur Is It Safe To Drink Alcohol?
Hi I have a Heart Murmur not sure what type and I m windering if drinking alcohol is okay when I have a Heart Murmur? Reason I ask if cause I m turning 21 tomorrow and my friends have had this party planned out with alcohol food ect. Though personally I feel like I don t wanna drink more than one beer they expect me to get drunk since I onlt turn 21 once but my mother on the other hand heard that people who ve drank alcohol had their hearts stop so I m wondering if it s okay to drink and if what my mother said is true?
