I have a 10 month old boy who seems to have a slight heart murmur. His doctor has to listen closely to hear it, but it's there. She hasn't felt we need to see a cardiologist since it's so slight, but she's keeping an eye on it (or, should I say an ear!). I haven't been concerned about it until I read an article about HCM and how common it is. That's how I stumbled upon your site -- I wanted to see what the symptoms are.
I'm wondering if any of you have experience with diagnosis in a baby. I know my doctor would refer us to a pediatric cardiologist if we ask. I just hate to put my son through any invasive testing if I'm just being a neurotic mother!
I guess my question is simply, if you have a baby who was diagnosed -- how did they know to look for it?
Thanks!!
