After physical exertion, or eating fatty foods my heart begins to have a rapid heartbeat (~110 beats per minute). Along with this rapid heartbeat, there are times where a heart murmur presents itself. Is an occasional heart murmur indicative of something more, or can this be considered normal?
How do you know it's a heart murmur? Has that been diagnosed? Sounds to me like you should see a cardiologist. Rapid heartbeat after exercise (depending upon the exercise) isn't unexpected ... as long as it's an even rhythm. When I run on the treadmill, my rate goes up to 150-160 bpm. But if it's uneven, I'm not so sure that this is normal.

A heart murmur should be evaluated by one's physician to determine clinical significance.
