Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

Firstly, if sleeping on right side decreases the pain then, it is definitely not a cardiac problem. Rather it indicates to musculoskeletal problem, but as you have a congenital murmur, just make sure that it is not the aggravation of previous condition.

For this, you have to visit cardiologist. Do an ECG, and if indicated an Echocardiogram. These will give a clear picture of what is happening. If there is a new disease condition relating to heart that can be detected as well with these.

Hope you have got your answer. Do let me know if you have more concerns.
