I feel completely depressed and I just need to talk with someone who understand the problem or had the same problem that I have. I am from Serbia, which is extra problem, because I don’t trust to doctors from here too much, anyway we don’t have good surgical equipment (or maybe I’m wrong, which a hope is true)
Anyway, I am 34 years old female. Since 2003 I started to have problems, like dizziness, light head, tachycardia, tingling etc. They told me that I suffer from panic attacks. Few months ago, my situation started to be worst, so few weeks ago I had TIA (maybe I had several, I do not know). I went to neurologist; they found that I have PFO (they said very small). I am waiting to do Transesophageal echo, so I guess that I will know more details.
I have headache almost every day, blur vision, I even don’t know is it because of that or because of panic attacks, or panic attacks exist because of lack of oxygen in the brain.
Anyway, I would like to know do you think that surgery is good idea in my case, better than using some medicaments? Do I have to change some other things in my life?
I am completely afraid and depressed. Here, in Serbia, there is no one to talk about this issue.
I would like to have family, kids, and I don’t know could I do that now.
Thank you in advance for your response.
Kind regards,
Maya
