In my opinion you should consult cardiologist and get done 2D Echo. This will clearly identify your valvular problems and it can also quantify the stenosis if it is there. And yes pulmonary stenosis can cause such symptoms. If critical stenosis is diagnosed you may need surgery. But for all this you need to first consult cardiologist.
