Well my doctor is a military doctor, and i dont know if anyone here
is familiar with military physicians but... I dont have much
confidence in their abilities. So ive done my own research, and am
pretty confident that the pfo is the source of my problems, at least
with my ches tpains. it would be nice if it was the source of my
ehadaches too, but im not going to count on that. Im only 24, and the
likelyhood of being able to get it closed for a long long time for me
is very slim unless i get in on a study.
