Can A Whooping Cough Cause A Heart Murmur?

It s a little complex , cough for 7 months , whooping cough diagnosed, blocked sinuses , chest infection followed, still coughing ...been to docs 2 days ago , more tests to follow to determine if reaction from whooping cough or something else ...and then doc says I also have heart murmur , now worried. I am 45 year old , have cycled all my life, dead on right weight, never smoked. Perhaps a little sleep deprived , stressed and have couple more drinks than ideal....and now quite worried. DOc to listen to heart in 1 month but say not too worried if I can still red up steep hills...which I can, but I also have an awareness of my chest, can feel it, not sure if cough and lung related or heart. Comments welcome

physiological heart murmurs can be treated easily and doesn’t carry any further risk.
