Ok, i met with my cardio doctor and he told me that he would not recommend closure of the PFO, since i had no history of blood clots, family or otherwise. He also did not seem to think my problems in Coz were of a life threatening nature, which i did not understand as Dr. Piccolo was certainly concerned. My doctor here did not know anything about diving or nitrogen loading, etc....so i take that part of his asessment with a grain of salt...my doctor also did not think i would be able to find anyone willing to do the procedure since in his view it was not a medical necessity....
On the up side i did 13 dives over 6 days last November and had the symptoms from about the 2 dive and the sypmtoms never got any worse....of course i thought it was sunburn and bad food....and i ended up thinking i had a heart attack about a week after being home....
This trip i had the same symptoms after the second dive and i quit diving and still had the same symptoms when i got home....
in this liability crazy society my dive instructor refuses to let me do their nitrox course or actually dive with me...
and i have been dry-docked by our sheriff's department dive team...
i suppose i could go back down to Coz., get my nitrox cert. down there and come up with my own dive tables....
what does everyone think ????
