Hi Denise,
I'm so sorry to hear about your stroke. I hope that you are recovering well. I have had 2 strokes, and because of that my doctor immediately closed my PFO when it was discovered I had one. Just make sure that you get allergy tested for the device they implant into you. I am allergic to mine and now I have to have open heart surgery to get it out. I had the amplatzer implanted into me and it has nickel on it, which is a very common allergin for many people. It has been causing me all kinds of problems like chest pain, heart palps, rashes, migraines, etc. A simple skin test will tell if you are allergic to nickel. I hope that they will be closing your PFO soon, it will eliminate your risk of any more strokes.

Let me know how you are doing.
