So how is everyone doing? I have recently started to have arrhythmias a lot more often then I used to. I am starting to get a little concerned about them but I...
This is normal. The exact thing happened to me. It's becauase the heart is forming scar. If your Cardio is concerned, he can put you on a 30 day monitor....
Yep... After my Open Heart surgery as a child, I've had arrhythmias off and on throughout my life. Unfortunately, there is no cure, but there are meds to ...
Hi there Dirk, I just wanted to let you know that it happened to me too. It didn't start for about 2 weeks after the procedure and then got worse and worse....
Dirk, the same happened to me too…. I am 3+ months post op and now started to go down on toprol… I am at ½ a 25mg pill a day. Although my surgeon said to...
Hi everyone... Wasn't sure if this was still an active list and was excited to see your emails pop up. I was admitted into the ER and found out I have a PFO,...
Hi Roxane, The palps are only temporary for most people, and can be lessened with meds too, if you need them. I felt much better once my Cardiologist put the...
Hi Roxane, Vi is absolutely right, the palps are a very small price to pay for all the benefits. I didn't really stop to think about the way I was wording my...

thank you for the encouraging words, I could really use those right now, it is hard when you read and do your own research and then you get conflicting answers...
I am 29 years old, when I was younger I had a heart murmur, then at 14 they said it closed up and was gone. Now I have a PFO, a couple of years ago I thought I...
This is something I started asking myself some time ago. When I really first started noticing it was when my father was very sick, you could tell just by...
Doesnt that just get you.. they want you to have a stroke before theyll do anything to prevent you from having a stroke cause of the PFO.. :P im 24, and...
I guess that I'm "lucky" that I've had 2 strokes. Even so, I had to be pushy about getting the closure. Pushy is the name of the game folks. I just have...
Hi Roxane, I don't blame you for being scared. Doctors are not Gods. If your doctor isn't treating you properly, then go find another. It sounds to me like...
Just because they are at Hopkins doesn't make them infalliable. I walked out of the Mayo clinic in disgust. I got better care in my small hometown in Erie,...
yah sadly youre , like you said 'lucky'... (note the sarcasm right?).. and even then, they gave you a hassle. Because anytime you do surgery, they risk a side...
That is exactly how I feel about the medical field. It is being ran like businesses these days. In fact I've heard they are training new doctors more on the...
Is it worth it? I guess the answer is for me I think it was, but this is going to have to be something you need to answer for yourself, all you can get from us...
Hi Everyone, I have a question about what an "aura" exactly is. Since my closure ( I had an ASD - closed Nov 30th) I have been getting these "weird headaches"...
Hi Amy, I am sorry I can't help you very much on the subject of migranes and aura's because I never had a proplem with them. I did have ever recently run...
Hi Dirk, Thanks for your reply. Also, thanks for the link - i'm going to make some time to read it tonight. Anyway, my appt at the Neurologist was cancelled...
Hi Amy. My name is Lyn. I have terrible trouble with aura's. Sometimes I
think they are worse than the headache. So scary. I believe your vision problems are...
Hi Lyn, Did you have an ASD or PFO closed? Do you have heart trouble? I just wonder because none of this started until I had my hole closed... Thanks, Amy Lyn...
No Amy. I suspect I have the defect. My daughter definately does and we get
the same migraines with aura. She is 15. Unfortunately I can't even get
tested, but...
hey all this question is actually not for me its for my mom. Shes also got a PFO, but her is open all the time. Shes had at least 1 TIA probably more, but...
Hi Nina, I think it depends on each person. I felt ok about a week after, but I was on limited activity for a month. I wasn't allowed to lift anything...
Hi Nina, I started having palps pretty bad about one month after the surgery and they lasted for about a month and then completely went away. From what I have...
