Possibly, need eval: Fatigue may be normal if you have become deconditioned (i.e. Not been exercising). But alcapa is serious, as you know, and this requires attention. More likely to be an issue if other symptoms, such as chest pain, fainting etc. But again, this requires a thorough eval with your cardiologist.

Requires evaluation: This is a rare defect with a rare presentation and timing of surgery. The answer to the question would require an evaluation by someone familiar with this type of defect and the complications which may arise.
