Has anybody been tested for this and if so what test, what did you learn and do etc as a result? When I saw P. Cheney in 2008 he was into PFO as one of factors with shortness of breath (SOB) and fatigue etc and he said his echo on me indicated possibly having one, but said a bubble test best way to know but its rather invasive if I recall.
I am having increased SOB and palpitations and headaches lately after trying a couple types of frequency specific microcurrent (FSM)--which has been also helpful for reduce pain and fatigue. Unfortunatey one type I tried a couple times was more like a TENs and my body felt somewhat jolted by the microcurrent and next day and on and since have had more heart/b/p symptoms mentioned above. also tinnitus.
I just recalled about cheney talking about the PFO and wondered if one could have been blown more open again--because in the 27ish years I have had this the SOB quality has had different characteristics and it seemed certain med trials esp stimulants could worsen the SOB in this same way. The FSM increases ATP.
Research on PFO now shows that mainstream med has cast it into realm of another blackhole health prob to figure out even tho 25% of us have one and it is associated with strokes.
Does anyone know if Cheney still big on this theory and for those of you that have explore this route I would appreciate any info here or privately because if my new heart and b/p type symptoms continue ruling out PFO may be something I want to advocate for, there is less invasive way to test for it now according to this article
