as off now you are totally asymptomatic
i would advice you to go for a test called 2d echocardiography
in this test we can see whether all the valves are working properly or not ,,if there is any stenosis(narrowing) of the valve or if any valve is leaking(regurgitation) giving rise to murmer
a murmer is not always due to peoblem in valves
some times murmer can be innocent murmer which need not to be treated
my advice is to go for detailed 2d echo as soon as possible
