You should repeat the exam in the supine position.

Here we are talking about the diastolic heart murmurs which are the murmurs that happen during the the time when heart refills the after the blood has been pumped during contraction. This can happen due to bad pathology and thus it is important to do the exam again but this time in the supine position.
