Hello & Welcome to HCM,

I had gone through the case and found that as you have heart murmur then found out the exact cause of heart murmur and these symptoms are associated with angina.

1-So go for EKG during discomfort to found out the exact cause of discomfort.

2- Find out the exact cause of Murmur by doing 3-D echo cardiogram and blood test.

Causes of Murmur might be innocent or abnormal.

Innocent causes-
Conditions that may cause rapid blood flow through your heart, resulting in an innocent heart murmur, are:

- Physical activity or exercise.

- Pregnancy.

-Fever.

-After heart surgery.

- Anemia.

- Hyperthyroidism.

Changes to the heart due to aging or heart surgery may also cause an innocent heart murmur. Innocent heart murmurs may disappear over time, or they may last your entire life without ever causing further health problems.

Abnormal Heart Murmur-

-Holes in the heart or cardiac shunts.

-Congenital heart valve abnormalities.

-Rheumatic fever.

-Endocarditis.

-Valve calcification.

- Mitral valve prolapse.

After getting the correct diagnosis , take proper treatment.

Hope my suggestion will be helpful for you.

Thanks,
