A member asked:
What are the symptoms of having a hole in the heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be none: Depends on how big the "hole" (atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect) is -- it may never cause any problems at all. Depending on exactly what is happening, people may notice swelling on the legs, shortness of breath, or that the extremities turn blueish.
