Q. Will I have a pulse if I got a heart murmur?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Yes, if you have a heart murmur, you will still have a pulse. In general, a heart murmur is an additional or unusual sound heard when listening to the heart with a stethoscope. Heart murmurs occur when blood flows through the major vessels of the heart in an abnormal way and can create turbulent noise that your doctor will hear during the physical exam.
Although having a heart murmur does not typically cause any symptoms, it can be indicative of other underlying conditions such as valve problems or structural defects – especially if there are other associated symptoms like chest pain and difficulty breathing. Therefore, it is important to consult with your doctor to determine the source of your murmur and what treatment may be necessary based on its severity and underlying causes.
In terms of having a pulse while having a murmur, regardless of whether it indicates something serious or not – yes, you should still have one. The presence or absence of your pulse should not be determined by whether you heard/feel something abnormal within your chest; rather it should reflect actual cardiac activity which even people with murmurs usually maintain until further investigation is done from their doctor's office (or local hospital). So again - yes - if you have been diagnosed with a heart murmur then chances are high that you will still maintain at least some sort of normal (and very likely detectable) heartbeat rate in comparison to those without any murmurs detected in their exams!
