BECAUSE-: "Multiple studies suggest that migraine with aura is more prevalent in subjects with patent foramen ovale (PFO) and PFO is more prevalent in subjects who have migraine with aura. It is unclear if there is a causal relationship or simply a co-existence of these two conditions. " I recommend that you follow the recommendation of your cardiologist and follow up with a neurologist. Your symptoms >
