I'd also be interested in knowing more about "you". Body type, diet, smoker etc? And what else you do when you're away... booze, sleep habits etc.
But for sure get checked out for a PFO. There are reasons to get it fixed outside of diving.
Not a smoker. 5'2'' and 160lbs (but I carry it well ). I would say I'm pear shaped but morphing into an apple the older I get. I did try to pay attention to hydration since it may have been a contributing factor last time. I do have a cocktail at night while on vacation but not excessive. I'm a 61 yr old female so sleep is elusive .
I tend to eat well. Not a lot of junk food. Not a lot of snacking between meals but I do enjoy carbs. Not a keto gal.
