My Heart’s Happy Sound!

Your heart is like a drum, making sounds as it pumps blood. Sometimes, doctors hear an extra sound called a murmur—but don’t worry! If it’s an innocent murmur, it means your heart is strong and healthy!

Why Do I Have a Murmur?

  • Your heart is working just right


  • Blood moves quickly, making a soft sound


  • It might sound louder when you run, play, or have a fever

  • Fun fact: Many kids have murmurs, and they usually go away as you grow!

Can I still have fun?

Yes! Kids with innocent murmurs can:


  • Run, jump, and play sport

  • Laugh, dance, and sing


  • Grow up strong and happy

Most murmurs aren’t a problem, but doctors always want to make sure you’re feeling great!

Your Heart is Strong! ❤️

Having a murmur doesn’t mean anything is wrong—it’s just a special sound your heart makes as it grows. So, keep smiling, keep playing, and keep being awesome!
