I am 48 year old woman and just learned that I have a pfo with right to left shunting (bubble test) . A cardiac MRI confirms that I do not have an ASD. I experience fatigue, sharp chest pains, inability to sleep , shooting pains in left eye and and dimmed vision is left eye. I am concerned. I wake up scared because the left side of my body is numb and I can't see well out of my left eye. My heart flutters and it is a little un-nerving.
I have always had a lower than normal ejection fraction and become easily fatigued upon exertion. I have had MVP, T wave inversion and sligltly enlarged heart and 35-50 % ejection fraction.
As a child, I would have stabbing chest pains and i was told I had an enlarged heart of unknown causes.
My choleterol and blood work are very good. I do not have diabetes and I am a health nut. I am not able to exercise , so I walk daily. Any recommendations on what to do next?
