Had PFO closure 5 weeks ago, having post bubble study next week. Feeling good, but have occasional chest discomfort (like something caught). When I asked physician about it, he was evasive in his answer (the cardiac surgeon performed procedure in another city and I am following up all post-op care with local cardiologist. None of the literature I read mentions chest discomfort. Had a "floppy" septum, with large PFO, and an ASA. Diagnosed after a speenic infarct. Is chest/heart discomfort possible? I returned to work 5 days after procedure and have very stressful job, also take meds for GERD, which seems worse with taking aspirin and plavix. Thank you for you help.
