Does your heart TALK?

Mine does. To a certain extent. My heart murmurs...

"A heart murmur is an extra or unusual sound heard during your heartbeat. Murmurs range from very faint to very loud and sometimes sound like a whooshing or swishing noise. Normal heartbeat sounds—"lub-DUPP" or "lub-DUB"—are the valves closing as blood moves through the heart. A heart murmur is not a disease; it is a sound that the doctor hears with a stethoscope. It may be normal, or it could be a sign that something may be wrong. Most heart murmurs are harmless. Some are signs of heart problems, especially if other signs or symptoms of a heart problem are present. In adults, abnormal murmurs are most often due to heart valve problems caused by infection, disease, or aging." (The above information was obtained from here)

Yeah. Systolic murmuring. I do hope that I am not aging THAT fast >.<
