Anyone in medical field know what this means...

Hi. I've had a bad cough now for over about 10 days. Absolutely flawed me and chest vibrating when I breathe in. Anyway I've been to see the nurse. She said it all sounds like an upper respiratory infection, not in my lungs. She commented on my heart rate being high however it often is when im in doctors. However I've read my notes(I shouldn't have) and it says HS quiet, no added sounds. I've Googled apparently HS means heart sounds and that it shouldn't sound quiet. Should I have been referred or is this actually a usual finding?

Thank you

It's a good thing! No untoward beats or murmurs. And quiet is good too, not sure how come you read differently.

Quiet would be cause for concern if it meant they couldn't hear one at all, but otherwise, no.

it probably just means it was a naff stethoscope! (ed to say there are some contexts in which quiet heart sounds are an important sign, but this doesn't sound like one of those contexts)
