    hi there i wondered if anyone could give me any information on heart
    murmurs...the stuff i've looked at on the net isnt that detailed.
    my 16 month old girls were found to both have heart murmurs when they were 1
    week old and 2 months old. one of my girls had a scan on her heart which
    showed to be normal, the other they said her murmur was normal.? any way one
    of the girls has recently been diagnosed with asthma she coughs a lot and
    also tends to look a little blue around her mouth. i took her for her check
    up the other week and the doctor said he could hear the murmur and did we
    know about it, which we did.he referred her to the hospital with her asthma
    and this murmur to be checked out. some of the things i have been reading is
    making me wonder whether he coughing and blue lips are related to her heart
    rather than her asthma.while we wait for an appointment does anyone have any
    information or suggestions?

    thanks in advance

    Be patient.
