I have symtons of shortness of breath, increased fatigue,and chest pains.  I have had an echo cardiogram and a bubble test preformed.  my doctor says i either have an ASD of a PFO but being as he is an army doctor its hard to get a straight answer from him.  I am going soon to have TEE preformed to get a better look.  I was just wondering if i could possibly get another opinion as to which defect I might have, the PFO or the ASD.  thank you
Hello dear, Warm welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* This is in relation with cardiac compensatory state giving rise to variety of symptoms , differential diagnosis requires TEE and management depends upon the conclusive evaluation of the same.* Symptomatic relief with medicines but at times one requires corrective surgery as well. Hope this will help you for sure. Wishing you fine health ahead. Regards dear take care.
