Hi,

If you are having a heart murmur and echo is normal then probably no need to worry. For your palpitations, get one hemoglobin and thyroid test done, and more importantly quit smoking and marijuana consumption.

For strong heart, have a healthy lifestyle like avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 30 minutes a day and 5 days a week. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, and avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
