Yes: You should speak with your primary care physician and a cardiologist to gauge how severe the pfo is currently. Together they can design a safe exercise program for you.

Depends: Most pfo's are harmless and cause no symptoms. If you have not seen a doctor , you should see a cardiologist and ask them.
