It is very common for a fever and infection to temporarily increase your heart rate and blood flow, which can cause a new temporary murmur or make your known mild valve leaks louder. This is often just a temporary reaction to being sick. However, because you have pulmonary hypertension and an enlarged heart chamber managed by Candace (candesartan) and Concor (bisoprolol), it is important to be safe. Once your fever and cold have cleared, please have your doctor listen to your heart again. They can determine if a follow-up ultrasound is needed to ensure your heart remains stable.
