Cardiologist,  's  Response
hello,I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
well first of all I would like to know whether are you on any medicines? As you have been operated for closure of hole in your heart ,it is possible that you are on some medicine which lowers heart rate.
you mentioned that you have still murmur in your heart,then you must go for echocardiography to know any residual defect or any unattended or mild lesion.you should get one ECG done,
I shall be able to guide you after your inform me these datails.
My best wishes
