The FAA wants 2 further tests, from a cardiologist. I am in Hershey,Pa. anyone have any suggestions on what cardiologist to use for these.. being that I am very fit and my AME put notes in my file for how fit I am. I am concerned that a new cardiologist ( mine has retired) won’t be favorable and give me the thumbs up. Also, anyone have any experience in this regard before?

Your level of fitness activity may be the catalyst for the murmur..
Hershey Penn state should have a decent cardiology department. If not, Georgetown University or John Hopkins should be able to help you out.
