Dear Lybrateuser, - There are no specific exercises for closure of the hole, she should carry on doing her normal activity as long as she doesn't feel tired & weak
- sometimes if the size is small the hole closes on its own & if the person becomes symptomatic then surgery is required
- she should be investigated & checked by a cardiologist as constant monitoring is also required in future.
