See your doctor: There are many different congenital heart problems, some surgically repaired and some which are "outgrown." need an exam with your doctor.

Not enough info: CHD is a label that applies both to conditions so minor that they self heal over the first 6 mo. and to those that require complex surgery in several stages over lifetime. The only way to appraise your "normalcy" from a heart standpoint is to have all the history/physical and testing results that would apply.Hopefully you have a primary care provider that has that data. Ask them.
