Were you diagnosed with HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)? My FIL was diagnosed about 2 years ago. He tried medication, but inevitably needed surgery. He had his myectomy in July at Tufts in Boston. He is a new man. He was able to get in touch with the HCM foundation and they helped him find a surgeon at an HCM Center of Excellence. There is also a wonderful facebook group for those with HCM and their families. Feel free to send me a message should you wish some more information.
My FIL also went for a second opinion as the news struck him much like it did you. Don't let someone else's feelings dictate how you take care of yourself.
When my own son struggled with an undiagnosed illness, I apologized to his Dr. for seeking a second opinion, but her response was great. She said she was glad to have the help in figuring his case out and that it's never an insult to pursue the absolute best you can for yourself.
Prayers sent.

Nope, dilated cardiomyopathy is what my diagnosis is. Never drink, never smoke, and no blockages at all. Blood pressure is consistently 120/70. It’s crazy.
