Good afternoon all,
I posted similar in the Military Aircrew section on this forum, but thought asking in the specific Medical section may bring other information.
**I'm under no illusion or would I in anyway substitute not visiting the Doctor with views shared on here, however as some may be Medically qualified on here I thought it may be worth asking**.
I'm currently in the process of applying to the Mil as Aircrew and at my AFCO Medical, the AME noted he could hear an audible heart murmur, more specifically a 'whooshing' sound just broke my left nipple and ending just under my armpit.
Now, I am one to admit I suffer from the 'white coat syndrome' - I never enjoy Medicals (as I'm sure many also don't), however of course I am concerned of this result.
Does anyone know if there is any relationship between Anxiety and potential heart murmurs?
I'm due to visit my GP for an ECG+Echo and visit the local Cardiologist (hopefully sooner rather than later) but was wondering if any fellow PpruNe users have or experienced anything similar?
Thanks for any info.
Kidneys regards.
