I had ASD and it was repaired as a child, I do have arthritis in my left knee but the doc's atribute that to all my cartilage being removed. The hole in your heart will definatly make you feel a lot weeker and older because your heart blood pumping efficiency is down. Please feel free to contact me as I still fight problems associated with the CHD

I had an ASD corrected at the age of 9 and I ma now 24. I havent had much problems apart from anaemia and low blood pressure. I am scared for mu future tho, cuz I want to give birth to healthy babies. I have been more worried since my sister's child has now been doagnose with hole in the heart, eb]=ven tho weve been reassured that it wouldnt need surgery.
