I had a stroke a year ago which has left some weakness on my right side. I suffer from fatigue and get by the best I can. I have so many ups and downs mainly caused by my medical appointments. Originally it was thought that as I had my stroke aged 47 i had a Pfo (flap that opens in my heart). I had a bubble echocardiogram and bubbles passed between 2 chambers of my heart so I was diagnosed with Pfo, my medication was changed. Back in July the NHS in my area recommended closure but no funds available to do the operation. After a lot of thought I decided to self fund. I attended a Transoesophageal echocardiogram this week in which I don't remember a lot as heavily sedated (only remember waking up coughing and gagging). The consultant told me after that he didn't think I have a Pfo. I now have no idea what is going on or if I am on the right medication. I also finally had my mental health assessment in July in which they confirmed I need support but there is a long waiting list and I am still waiting. I just feel it is hard enough trying to deal with the effects of a stroke without all the added pressure of chasing people that should be helping me. Has anyone else had similar with the bubble and been told what caused it if not Pfo as I am sure I will be waiting ages again for letters and to speak to someone?
