    Why is my heart murmur is getting worse?

    Cardiology & Vascular Health
    My heart murmur that I've had for over 20years has been getting worse in the last 2-4 months. I struggle to walk down my driveway without my heart murmur being set off and I feel totally exhausted and need to sit down ASAP. It's happening more often, the worst was Sunday the 29th an Monday 30th May - my heart murmur set off over 24-32 times during those days, and it got to the point where I nearly passed out an couldn't even leave my house as just walking from my lounge to front door (which is less then 10 steps) started badly again I just had to sit straight down. I'm getting very concern as its now affecting my work an personal life.

    Hello. 

    A history, physical examination and heart ultrasound by a cardiologist is very important in answering this question.
