pfo diagnosed, now dr says do nothing?

Hi I am new, my name is katy.  I am 28 and have been dianosed with PFO.  It all started a few months ago, I was having spells where my heart would start racing, I would start sweating, I would get very dizzy and weak.  My Dr. sent me to a cardiologist and he asked if i got migraines, I thought what does what have to do with anything.  I told him that I have had migraines since I can remember.  He said I might have PFO. so we did the stress test, the echo, and the bubble test.  He wasn't 100%, but he though i did have it, so then we did the TEE, which is where they put a scope down my throat and looked at my heart, which found a small hole.  Now after all that he says take an asprin a day for the rest of your life and you'll be fine.  should I get another opinion?
