Hi,
At first I would advise you not to panic.
Heart murmurs indicate some valve disfunction, but the exact picture only can be seen by echocardiography.
There can be heart murmur with only mild valva disfunction, which does not need any treatment and doesn't alter health.
So, there is nothing to worry. You can undergo echocardiography and find out the cause of your murmur.
