Typically, this is treatable with either surgery or a non surgical method using a balloon to close the hole. Most doctors won't suggest treatment for heart related issues until they become symptomatic...which it sounds like yours is.
The balloon is used in a majority of cases now and it's pretty routine and relatively non invasive (hole in your thigh or groin to get to the artery which leads to the heart).

My prayers are with you. Thankfully you have roommates / girlfriend and an active online community for support as well, but a little faith can go a long way.
Yes these are my options but not only am I scared but I can't afford insurance because I have a pre existing condition. It's a catch 22. Need money for doctors, must work for money, can't work because sick. Anyway I'm going to figure it out ASAP. Thanks for the help and concern
This is why i love the UK's NHS, taxes pay for healthcare and therefore its free for people to use when they need it most. Still hope you able to recover at some point and i hope your able to get the money for the treatment soon.

Definitely one of the nicest streamers I've ever seen, and it has one of the better communities as well. You lift everyone else's spirits, now let us raise yours . Good luck, and get well soon.
My prayers are with you Justin and I think I speak for the community here when I say we will cheer you on man and support you. I also believe everyone agrees that you get better and get healthy and worry about the stream later. I found you when you and the Jwittz did the MK8 stream that had the giveaways and I have watched you since. You are my favorite streamer and hope you get better and also I will stay subbed to you man I think you are awesome and respect the fact you told us and didn't keep it yourself. I think the only things left I have to say is Justin get better man and never give up, be strong and just have some faith, I believe you will get through this. Also it is fine if you can't stream often I doubt anyone will be mad at you for that, just do it when you feel you can. Everyone in the community is your friend and we are here for you Justin, supporting you, and hoping you get well. Like I said my prayers go out to you just be brave and strong. The last thing I have to say is I love you bro and so does everyone else in this community, and Get well Justin.
