Hi, i am new to this, this is my first post and i hope some one out there may help me. I am 44 and have just found out i have a hole in my heart! I have been in hospital lots of times and no one picked up on it. Apparently it is the hole that faces my lung. I will find out soon if i have to have heart surgery. But how has it been missed for all these years i am baffled?! Any one that can help me? thank you any way for reading this
