The murmur that has a click is mitral Valve Prolapse which may be detected by listening with a stethoscope, revealing a "click" noise that is created by the stretched flaps snapping against each other during contraction and/or a murmur.

People with mitral valve prolapse may have a mid-systolic click along with a murmur, referred to as apical late systolic murmur.

Early systolic clicks may also be present in some people.

Aortic and pulmonary stenosis may cause an ejection click immediately after S1.

A heart murmur will cause you to feel weak or tired and cause you to be short of breath, especially when exercising, cause chest pain, skipping heartbeat, and or a fast and or pounding heartbeat.

Many heart murmurs don't need any treatment and aren't a cause for concern.

But if a murmur is caused by a more serious condition, you may need.

Medications, such as iron to correct anemia or drugs to slow the thyroid gland.

Surgery to correct or replace a valve.

When you have a heart murmur you should eat heart-healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, lean meats, and low-fat or non-fat dairy foods.

Limit sodium, sugars, and alcohol and get some exercise as well if you're not exercising already.

A heart murmur is a blowing, whooshing, or rasping sound that is heard during a heartbeat.

The sound with a heart murmur is caused by turbulent (rough) blood flow through the heart valves or near the heart.

Some heart murmurs are harmless (innocent).

An innocent heart murmur is not a sign of heart disease and doesn't need treatment.

Other heart murmurs may be a sign of a serious heart condition.

Tests are needed to check the heart and heart valves.

Many heart murmurs don't need any treatment and aren't a cause for concern.

But if a murmur is caused by a more serious condition, you may need medications, such as iron to correct anemia or drugs to slow the thyroid gland or surgery to correct or replace a valve.
