Acute Stroke after lifting weights(PFO)
Has anyone had success with getting the PFO patch? My Husband was lifting weights one night and had a stroke in his sleep. The Cardiologist said that certain exercises affect the blood flow ie.. Jumping Jacks & Weight lifting. I guess he stick with walking daily. Let me know.

If it is a left to right, oxygenated blood would be recycled to the lungs and no problems...aspirin recommended to safequard againt clots).
