My daughter has gone through an eating disorder a year ago she has since gained her wait back her last period was Nov. 21 and we are waiting for the next period. Her doctor said she has a heart murmur, I am wondering if this is because she does not have a regular cycle, she is 15 years old. Thank you

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, heart murmur is not associated with irregular menstrual cycle.
Her irregular menstrual cycle is mostly due to hormonal imbalance. So consult gynecologist for this.
Heart murmur is commonly seen with congenital heart diseases and arrhythmia. Both these are common interests young age group.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ecg) to find out the cause for heart murmur.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
