Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I went to septic shock on 22 Feb and recovered completely. However, for the first time, during the episode of sepsis, just before they put me into intensive care unit said that I had a heart murmur. I have been never told about it previously. That is it could be a new thing. I left hospital on 26th Feb. Last Friday (April 01) I visited my GP and mentioned about the murmur. He examined and said that I have a systolic murmur and prescribed an echo-cardiogram. I have been given April 15th for the echocardiogram.
However, if I am ready to pay some money out of my pocket then it can be done quicker
