Symptoms of patent foramen ovale

PFO is a patent foramen ovale. It usually has no obvious clinical symptoms. It cannot be found in ECG and X-ray examination, and it is difficult to hear murmurs during auscultation, so it is not easy to be found.

However, some patients will increase their heart load due to strenuous exercise, which will cause headaches, dizziness, limb weakness and breathing difficulties.

To determine whether there is a patent foramen ovale, you need to see a doctor for echocardiography, right heart catheterization, etc.

Patients should pay attention to develop good living habits, such as proper physical exercise, prohibition of staying up late, etc.
