First of all, those tests do not necessarily show a problem with the heart! An echocardiogram is what you need. And you don't have anything injected, so it won't make you light up Europe.

Second, you don't have to have splinter hemorrhages run up and down the nail for them to be a serious sign. The fact that they are showing up is something worth telling someone about. Since they tend to disappear, take some photos now!

There are infections, like Sepsis, where you don't have to run a fever. When I had bacteremia, I only had chills. No fever, no high white blood cell count. This is particularly true of infections that are hiding in places like the heart and the kidneys!!!

So we really aren't being overly concerned here - just appropriately concerned. Given everything in total, you have the right to be concerned.

It's up to you what you decide to tell your docs or not. Just don't ignore too many signs, ok?
