What Causes Heart Murmur Along With Pain In The Temple And Dizziness?

I am a 42 year old female former smoker, quit 3 years ago. I am over weight, but not considered obese. I do cardio 2 times a week, have a heart murmur, and tachycardia. Sporadicaly through out the day to day I have felt a flutter in the ridhr side of my neck and a mild pain in my right temple area. It only last a few seconds. No loss of vision or dizziness when this occurs. Today is the first time this has occurred. Is this something I should be worried about?

General Surgeon 's  Response
it would be better to at least get an ecg done especially during the episode, that will help clear the confusion. even if it's a benign arrhythmia at least you would know.
mostly it's supraventricular tachycardia which is a benign condition and is treated with valsalva maneuver or propranolol. but still it would be safe to get an ecg done
