Sorry if I write too long. 

I have been seeing heart doctor since I started FTM (female to male) in 2008 and very concerned about it.  My family has heart disease, so I need to know.  I counutine with it till 2015, and I decided to stopped testosterone.  The doctor said the heart was getting worse. 

I had heart murmur for years. 

I took T off and watched it til I moved to Alabama to live with my parents in 2019.   The new heart doctor said, “You need to be fixed.”   I told him I had no problem with it.  He keeps an eye on it.

Finally, he told me to go to the hospital to test with the Dobutamine Echo.   I went to the hospital on December 12, 2024.  I wore wrong clothes and fainted in blood lab!  I was carried on wheelchair to Cath Lab and lay on bed.  I was okay but very aware of it.   

Get my blood work there and had a couple of tests from ultrasound on heart.  Rhythm and exercise.  The nurse called my heart doctor and checked on ultrasound.  He said, “Get ready for tube.”  I told him I couldn’t shallow the tube because it was too big for my throat.  He tested it, and it is impossible to get inside.   I told him he should get GI to do it.

I have rescheduled for that.  Now, I am going to go through again. 

If not working, I have to make a setup for surgery!  Open heart surgery.  Sigh!
