I have no idea if the doctor would be willing to do an office procedure without anastegia on you. However, as a patient I personally would not want any procedrue unless it was life saving done on me if their was a question about my heart function. I understand the fear and fustration you are feeling. I have been sick for almost a year now with an illness that the doctors can not figure out the cause of. My friends tell me they do not understand how I keep functioning and stay positive. My response is that this medical mess is not something I can control but my attitude is in my control. Lfe is a gift and I choose to spend every second of it that I have being as positive and embracing of life as I can. I too get very fustrated and really scared but I try not to make decisions regarding my health situation based on fear and fustration. As I believe those emotions can be very distortive. Take care and stay strong for our reality is not dictated by circumstance but by personal interpertation.
