A heart murmur is usually caused by a mitral valve prolapse. This is when the valve is slightly deformed causing it to not seal completely. It can be caused by various things including infections, or it can be from birth. In most cases there are no symptoms and no reason to worry about it. Most doctors even consider a mild prolapse to be normal. Unless you have other health problems, or your doctor says otherwise, exercise should be fine. Good aerobic exercise is great for heart health, and your overall health. Be sure to check with your doctor before starting any exercise program, but the murmur shouldn't really make a bit of difference. Take care.

Yes it's okay to exercise with a heart murmur, I've had one since I was born and I play soccer year round. Just make sure that if you are short of breath or feel light headed, or have chest pains, to stop the exercise.

It depends on what is causing your heart murmur. But, generally speaking, if you do not feel any symptoms while exercising it won't kill you. A physician should be seen.

Yes it is safe to exercise if you have a heart murmur. If you have an irregular heart beat or irregular rhythm, then that is a different story and you may want to talk to your doctor first.

Ask your doctor. Depends on how serious the murmur is.
