Re: [PFOSupport] PFO Closure & Depression

Hi there,
I feel the same way. I feel depressed at times also. I also get backaches. Just the other day I was having horrible chest pain. It felt like someone was stabbing me in the chest and the pain was also going into my back. So I got really scared and called my Dr. I went in and they did an EKG and then she sent me to the hospital to do a chest x-ray. Luckily everything was ok, but my Dr. said that I have Costochondritis which is a inflammation in the tissue and cartilage between the breastbone and the ribs which causes chest pain. Great huh? Just what I needed!

So I thought I would ask you guys because I can't really find anything
else on the web about this. Have any of you experienced post-operative
depression? or maybe depression caused by a plavix and aspirin combo?
I have found a little evidence of the plavix causing depression. Also,
I have had terrible backaches since my pfo closure (Nov. 11th 2007)
and I have never had a backache before ever really. But now they are
constant? Am I just going crazy?
thanks you guys, anyone.

Give me a day to hunt down that medical abstract. It takes your body 3-8 months to re-adjust your body and brain chemistry. Hang in there. Too much serotonin...
