4. Keep pre-existing illnesses under control is one way to cope and prevent a heart murmur.
Some pre-existing illnesses include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. It is important that you eat healthy, exercise, and take your medication every day to control these illnesses. You’ll need to check your sugar every day and visit your doctor whenever you have an appointment.
Always listen to your doctor when he or she tells you to do something that involves your health. So many patients will not listen to their doctor when there is a problem and end up having worse problems later on. For example, with a heart murmur, your doctor will expect you to have followed up tests.
You’ll need to take those follow-up tests to be sure that your heart is working correctly. If you need to see a specialist for your heart, go to that specialist also.
