PFO's & Freediving

[seventenths]

Hello out there,

Mark, here over in dull, wet, grey, but still very beautiful, Ireland!
I'm sure that this topic has come up before, but I have a suspected PFO (Patent foramen ovale) and I was wondering if this would or could have any significant health or safety implications for freediving. Any advice very much appreciated

regards

Mark McC.

There are other threads on bends and how they relate to freediving. Some great information here from eric fattah and others with medical minds and backgrounds. I,m sure you will find plenty of info.
