Phen fen and heart changes

I took Phen fen for weight loss for sixteen months. I had an echocardiogram in 1980 for a heart murmur that I have had since birth. that echo showed normal. In December 1997 I had an echo which showed some tricuspid valve regurgitation and aortic stenosis. Since that time I have been experiencing increasing fatigue, lightheadedness, shortness of breath and some chest pain. I am 50 years old and have been used to be very active. Do you have any thoughts on this?
