Hypoxia and Medicine

With ischemia (st-depression) would one's heart sound like a continuous motor rumble in one's body?

I have recently been told I might have this, a stress test confirmed it initially. As I am waiting for more tests, I've noticed that when I lay down my heart sounds like a continuous low rumble noise, and a hertbeat sound on top of that. What would cause this and is this part of the ischemia problem?

  1. Make sure it is actually your heart and not your lungs, ears, or something else. Otherwise, talk to your doctor/cardiologist and listen to what he/she has to say. Hearing a murmur without the aid of a stethoscope is not good. Good luck.
  2. In a confirmed Ischemic heart disease, this can happen if you have a pre-existing valve problem or a mitral valve prolapse occuring due to the ischemic episode. Otherwise it is generally psychological.
