ASD or PFO

I am 47 year old female with sudden sinus tachycardia with PVC that has lasted hours and becomes very uncomfortable. During my stress testing they did a bubble test. Found a hole in my heart and they are unsure if it is PFO or ASD b/c of how fast my heart was racing. Cardiologist left before I had an opportunity to ask if they would do anything for either of these two problems. Anybody have any ideas?

I can NOT imagine anybody can have a correct idea, answer for your question in a bulletin board. A hole in a heart is not a little thing. You must go back to your cardiologist to talk to him about that, or call up his office and ask for reference. They must explain to you what exactly is going on, and what to do next...more tests ...
Sorry about your trouble and wish you the best.
