Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
We should definitely rule out heart and lung related diseases in your case because you have murmur and nose bleeding.
So consult doctor and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
Also get done chest x ray to rule out lung diseases (infection, effusion).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart and lung diseases.
Musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar symptoms. So take painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
