Ive had a heart problem, other than a minor heart murmur, but the more i workout, i know i need to watch my heart rate. i take hydroxycut faithfully and my diet consists of alot of protien and healthy carbs. I work out 5 days a week, sometimes twice a day, 40 min cardio every day, and light weight lifting. Im 5'5 with a weight of 135. What SHOULD be my heart rate? If anyone could offer any advice on this, it would be greatly appreciated!!! thanks in advance!

Personally I would say you should consult your doctor on this one, but thats just my 2 p

yes, consult your doctor. Your recommended heart rate may be different than the norms.
Also - are you sure hydroxycut is safe when you have a heart problem?
Is the murmur your only heart issue? That isn't clear in your post.

220-23= 197
now multiply 197 by 55%, 60%, 75%, and 85% and you will know different heart rate zones.
When you do cardio you want to utilize different zones on diferent days.
Also - there is FAQ about Target Heart Rate, I am pretty sure....
