I just found out I have a hole in my heart. It may be contributing to my constant migraines, and it may explain why good medicines don't always work for me. I hope more reseach is being conducted - ASD or PFO and Migraines... Closing the gap to stop the cycle of Migraines. I'll participate!!! I am already about to have more scans done, and find out what I can do to fix everything. Having Heart Scans at 26, may have saved my life. People can die early because of this valve not being closed at birth. You survive until heart eventually fatigues. If you have constant migraines, get heart scan!!!

 

I've had migraines with Aura almost my whole life. I never knew that my heart was born with this hole. I've been through dozens of other tests and meds to figure out what is making me sick with constant migraines... thyroid tests, asthma tests, Polycystic tests, ADD meds, bipolar meds, Cat Scans, diabetes scans, lung scans, hormone tests, birth control changes, doctors listening to my heart... but still no one ever figured it out... One Heart scan - EKG with Emory and they found the hole in my heart.
