What Causes Heart Pain And Murmurs?

I have had bouts of bradycardia for about 1.5 years--no insurance now so I can only go on how I feel and what my bp machine says. In the last 6 months, I had bradycardia--rate 40ish--with EKG and two days later I was in the ER with tachycardia and high bp. I'm on a waiting list for a cardiologist. Now, I went to the doctor a couple days ago and EKG showed enlarged left atrium and he heard a heart murmur, I didn't know to ask what kind at the time. In the last couple weeks, when I have chest pain, I also have a pain in my left neck. I'm 47, 5'2", 165 lbs., trigs in the high 600's. I have lost 10 lbs. recently and about 35-40 over the last year (trying to). How serious is this? Is my heart getting worse? If so, how and why? What can I do?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this the bradycardia then underlying cause of matter of concern, some time it may be physiological one if does not have any clinical symptoms, it may not be serious condition, if this is the really heart disease then it needs to be differentiated as long as the murmur is concern, hope this information helps
