Currently, I have some slight heart problem... Last time was worst and after operation abt 4yrs ago, I'm better now... but it seems get worst... I had an Abration done during the last ops... N when I went for check-up about 2 months ago, docs says I have a 'hole' in my heart... and it may due to my Abration last time... Anyway, I have no proof of it that the abration causes it, so I can't sue the doc who operate for me. Ok. Back to current situation... I'm taking 2 med about 4-5hrs per day. If I dun take it, the heart pain is so pain that I may went into hospital. Docs advise me to go for the ops to cover the 'hole' in my heart, but only have chances of 70% of success. And even success, I still need to be under medication. Only difference is I took 1 med instead of 2, and maybe 6-8hr per day. And the med is less stronger than previous...My question is, is it advisable for me to go for the ops? The med I'm having now cost abt SGD$400++ for per month medication...

I feel that the doctor is in a better position to advice you rather than us. if you don't trust the doctor, you can get another opinion from a second doctor.
