Concerned About Heart Murmur, Anemia, and Blood Pressure
I have a heart murmur probably due to just being diagnosed with anemia. I also have slightly elevated blood pressure. Should I be worried?

Your heart makes a sound called a murmur, which is due to having low red blood cells, a condition known as anemia. Your blood pressure is also a bit high. Don’t worry—when you have fewer red blood cells, your heart works harder, causing the murmur. High blood pressure affects how your heart functions too. You’ll need medication for anemia and blood pressure, and eating healthy is important. Make sure to see a cardiologist regularly to monitor your condition.
