35-year old with shortness of breath and chest pain. Pulmonary hypertension??

I am a 35-year-old female with symptoms that include shortness of breath, chest pain (worse with exertion), and exhaustion for approximately 1 year.  I had an echo done which showed a small pericardial effusion, mildly dilated right ventricle, and mild tricuspid and mitral valve regurgitation.  I had a cardiac MRI and coronary CT which were normal.  I had a pulmonary stress test which showed low Vo2.  The cardiologists and pulmonologists I have seen do not know what is wrong with me.  I am worried I have pulmonary hypertension or another serious cardiac or pulmonary disease.  Are there any experts out there with any advice? Thanks.
