I lied at meps . I was told I had heart murmur when I was 6 and was told that I would grow out of it little to say I didn’t they found it at meps . I have to go to a cardiologist 3 weeks from now to say if it’s a no go or not . The doctor who found it said it not a big deal and they will let me in . But I’m afraid that they will go back on my medical records and find out I lied . A bunch of others told me to just play dumb . What do you think will they look back on my medical records after finding a heart murmur ?

Yes yet will. Best case scenario: they won't do anything about it and you can get out after your enlistment.
Worst case: they'll chapter you for fraudulent enlistment.
You should live in fear until ETS

WHO DIDN'T LIE AT MEPS? Shut your suck and keep moving forward. If you don't want to ship that bad, DON'T! You won't be missed! You will however WISH you had as you get older and you'll end up being that guy always saying, "I almost went in"! Do you really want to be THAT GUY? Again, SHUT YOUR SUCK and keep moving!

If there is one thing I learned in 21 years in the army. If you make a mistake you own it and do what you can to fix it. But don’t lie and if you did own your to it and try to fix it.

I was the NCOIC of the Cleveland MEPS for 3 years. I saw a lot of this. If you haven't enlisted yet, don't worry about it, you are not subject to the Uniformed Code of Military Justice. I hope you have learned a lesson about INTEGRITY. That said, even if you are disqualified, the USAREC Surgeon can provide you with a waiver for the condition and allow you to enlist. Good luck, I hope you get to join and serve honorably.

Tell the Cardiologist your medical history. He/she will run a few tests (ECG, stress, and/or Echocardiogram), to determine the extent of any heart problems. If it’s something minor-no problem. But it could be caused by a major underlying problem. That murmur might save your life.

Tell the Cardiologist the truth about your history. He’ll run a few tests and make his recommendation.
