Not entirely uncommon and usually not a lot to worry about, no won't cause you pain. A heart murmur is caused, at times, by a leaking valve or an anomaly of different blood vessels in the heart.
You really must not wait for a doctor to explain when diagnosing you. You have to ask questions and be proactive about your health so you are prepared.
My mother had a heart murmur and lived to 95 without any medication.
