What Causes Dizziness And Fatigue After An Open Heart Surgery?

I had open heart surgery to repair an aerial septal defect. It is 15 months after surgery and my symptoms (dizziness, fatigue, loss of vision, irregular heartbeat) have not stopped, but gotten worse over time. I m not sure what it could be that s going on? I drink at least 64 ounces of water Every day as has been reccomended but there has been no change since i began that a month or so ago.
