Hi, I'm 79 years male and my doctor advised me to get tee test done. Can you please say what is this test for. I'm a hail and healthy person, I do not have any medical complications. I just take thyronorm 25 mcg and atocor cv10. As I suffered a paralytic stroke 4 years back. I do not have bp and I don't have sugar so why this tee test. I'm worried please help.

A transesophageal echo (tee) test is a type of echo that uses a long, thin, tube (endoscope) to guide the ultrasound transducer down the esophagus (?food pipe? that goes from the mouth to the stomach). This lets the doctor see pictures of the heart without the ribs or lungs getting in the way.
