Hello,
Certainly it needs treatment. it can damage heart and lungs permanently and there wouldn't be any treatment for that. So you should get it treated. Treatment depends upon the location and other characters of the hole, whether surgery is needed or device closure can be done. so you discuss with cardiologist regarding the option of device closure which is minor procedure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
