Question
You know what happens when one has a "hole" in the heart?

Serotonin leaks out of that hole and ends up in higher concentrations than necessary in the body.

Normally serotonin is metabolized away in the lungs. When the hole exists, this does not happen. Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) has been treated to help with migraines in some patients.
It remains still however in the "experimental" category.

But I seem to recall you could not tolerate SSRI drugs etc. This may be a reason for that intolerance.

Is this what your heart defect is, Cyclelops?
