2. Severe: There are murmurs in the heart area. Excluding physiological reasons, it is caused by pathological factors. The apex beat will appear normal. At this time, you need to go to the hospital for a cardiac ultrasound examination. There may be congenital heart disease, the most common of which is ventricular septal defect.
