Hello,

Since you have a heart murmur, we should definitely rule out heart diseases for your chest pain and breathing difficulty. So better to consult a cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2D Echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal, then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. To avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Don't worry you will be alright with all these but first rule out heart diseases.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
