I thought I’d just give everyone a little update. Had a bout of nausea, shaking and feeling very much like some of the symptoms I experienced whilst having the stroke. It was so bad I had a night in the local hospital and consultant there started thinking’s it’s due to acid reflux. Well, I’ve had this for many years but never these symptoms so it’s getting checked out in the near future. Certainly, some acid reflux liquid when troubled has made a big improvement. My cerebellar stroke was deemed to be cryptogenic and I’ve been waiting for a PFO closure. Well, I had the procedure two weeks ago and they also found an ASD as well. Surgeon says he covered both holes with the device so I’m hopeful it’ll protect me from future blood clots. It’s an amazing op I was knocked out, left with two little puncture marks in my groin, one for the device insertion and the other for the scanning device. Ordinarily, this would have been placed down my throat but they couldn’t get it down due to what they think was acid reflux causing gullet to swell. I’m feeling good, headaches have reduced, no pain from heart whatsoever and, all in all, I’m happy that I was given the chance of having this operation. I haven’t seen a great deal written on the site about PFO closure but I think everyone with a cryptogenic stroke needs to ensure that the need for this protective device is checked out by their doctors . Anyway, that’s the latest everyone, I hope you’re all continuing to make good progress.
