What is your question? What do you want help with? Your quality of life?

I would go and see a cardiologist or another for a second opion. But having trouble breathing or becoming very tired for no reason would be a concern.

Get a different doctor and soon! A TIA is a small stroke another could be a full stroke and either way they can/do cause brain damage. I have had a valve replaced and if necessary it isn't a bad surgery overall, not to say the hole in your heart wouldn't make it more complicated, although I have a couple friends who have had holes also and no long lasting problems to my knowledge. I'd see a good cardiologist and maybe even a geneticist to see if there are other conditions that could be adding to your health issues. I had low blood pressure until the valve needed to be replaced also
