Welcome to Susan's, Skylar.
That is a question that only your doctor can tell you. Each individual has their own risks and how seriously yours is, is known best by a doctor who knows your medical history.
Please feel free to make and Intro thread and share as much or as little as you like about your story. You will find there are many here with issues who transitioned with or without medical intervention.

Hi, there. I also have a murmur and tachycardia with no issues taking T. But as LordKAT said, you need to be asking your doctor this, not us.

Definitely something to talk to your doctor about. I have a murmur and I'm on T, but I have no history of heart surgery. I went in with my own constellation of health stats and talked to my doctor about risks and benefits and we decided on realistic goals and how to reach them. Hopefully you'll be okay, but we can't answer that here.

It's ok. The only way we learn is by asking and that is what we are here for. :)
