Finally decided to find out then Julie.

Hope it goes well and of course nothing found.

Are you having it with a local Cardiologist, and with someone who has done bubble studies before for PFO.

I guess if it's local, the one question I'd ask is what experiance they have of the tests and carrying them out, unless they have prior diving medical knowledge there's not much point in pushing on any dive related questions.

If you need a chat again just give me a shout.

Good luck Julie! See if you can ask to get a referral to Dr Wilmhirst maybe?

Appointment update
Morning!

Been to see the cardiologist.

Gotta have a bubble test. Vonny came in with me. He knew all about diving and what causes the bends. We weren't having to tell him about diving and ascent rates which was encouraging!

He reckons that even on the NHS I should be having the test in the next month or so.

Watch this space......

(oh and thanks for the support and advice - and particular thanks to Vonny for holding my hand. I'm soooooo glad she was there )

Nice to see they are going to put you in for a bubble test with out any sign of a struggle.

Hope it's a negative for you when it's done.

Only just found this thread so a bit late with the best wishes

Glad it went well. Are you having the test where they pass fluid through the heart to see where it goes?

Lots of luck hun and let us know how it goes, in detail

Nice one Vonster

That hole has other uses, m'boy!

He gave me the name and I think Vonny will know what he called it but I've got to be sedated and then a tube stuck down my pipes etc and then bubbles washed through. He started off saying he'd just do the minor test where you have ultrasound and asked to take a deep breath in but then cos he knew I wanted to continue with diving he decided to do the full one, or summit like that! Nice, eh!?! Can't wait??? ..............NOT!

It all goes a bit whoooosssssshhhhhh over my head!

Have a look at this page as it has descriptions of the TTE and TOE (TEE) tests.
