I have been diagnosed with an atrial septal defect and have undergone a procedure to close it. How can I manage any ongoing symptoms?

Asked by Male, 46 · 13 days ago

After closure of an atrial septal defect, it is common to feel some tiredness or shortness of breath for a few weeks. It is important to gradually increase light activity, follow a heart-healthy diet, and attend all follow-up appointments with your doctor. Report any new symptoms, such as palpitations, swelling, or chest pain, promptly. Your doctor may also recommend tests to monitor heart function or medications to support your recovery.
