Re: Patent Foramen Ovale

hi gtzavela! i think you've been very lucky so far... as paul said, it is not uncommon for divers to be diving for years, doing deep mixed gas dives etcetc and not suffer anything and then one day it hit them and they suffered a serious neuro bend which can leave you paralysed if not kill you....

Note: Strain does NOT include to my understanding carrying gear or climbing stairs or hills. It means coughing, strain on the loo, lifting.
interesting...a friend of ours ours suffered a neuro bend after climbing the ladder laden with inspo and stages ...she was later diagnosed with a pfo which she's had successfully closed since.
