Re: [PFOSupport] oxygen therapy

Hi Debbie,
I'm not sure if having a PFO means that you have less O2 in the brain, but I've been using O2 therapy for very sucessfully for my migraines for 5 years.  I also take Verapmil every day as a preventive.
Good Luck,
Vi

Hi! I am new to the group. I am a chronic migraine sufferer. I just
had an echocardiogram done yesterday. I am waiting on the official
results, but the technician said that I do have a hole in my heart. I
was discouraged to see that insurance won't pay for the procedure to
repair it unless I have a stroke.

I was curious if anyone has tried oxygen therapy to treat their
migraines??? One of the articles I read regarding PFO claimed that
the head pain is a result of some unoxygenated blood reaching the brain.

Thanks for your help!
Debbie
