I have been diagnosed with atrial septal aneurysm and now know there is a pfo after having a bubble study done only a few bubbles seen. should i worry?

Possibly: You maybe at increased risk of stroke. Patients who develop strokes of unknown cause (cryptogenic) have a high probability of having a pfo/aneurysm. Stroke prevention may include medications such as aspirin plavix (clopidogrel) or warfarin. Consultation with a cardiologist who can visualize your echo films or possibly do a TEE can guide you further.
