I'm a 28-year-old female and I've been experiencing this pain between my breastbone. It happened again today while I was sleeping, and it lasted for about 3 to 4 hours. I remember feeling the same thing around 4 months ago, but it also only happens during sleep. I have no medical history to speak of. Could you help me understand what might be going on?

I've just been told I have an atrial septal defect that's 27mmI found out by chance at age 20. I exercise regularly, like swimming every day for 30 minutes along with doing push-ups and pull-ups. I don't have any symptoms, but I'm curious if I should get this fixed. If so, would it have to be open-heart surgery or is there another less invasive method available?
Based on the size of the atrial septal defect and your age, closure may be recommended to prevent any potential complications in the future. One common method for closing an atrial septal defect is through a minimally invasive procedure called transcatheter closure, which does not require open heart surgery. However, the decision on whether to close the defect and the choice of procedure should be discussed with a cardiologist who can evaluate your specific case in detail.

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing shortness of breath for the past 20 days, and every time I try to breathe, it feels like there's a lot of pressure on my heart. I'm scared that my breathing might suddenly stop. Could this lead to a heart attack, or maybe it's related to COVID-19? I also feel very anxious and could use a recommendation for a good anxiety pill. I've been doing yoga and meditation daily, but it still feels like something is gripping my heart and stopping my breath. I've been following the treatment plan given to me, but I haven't noticed any improvement yet. What should I do?
Yes,continue same treatment as advised by the physician..
