I have a VSD in my heart around 25.6 cm with a left-to-right shunt. I'm 36 years old and don't have any major symptoms, but sometimes when something stressful happens or I'm speaking in a gathering, I feel my heart rate increases. Could this be due to nervousness or because of the VSD? I can still run and play, and my height is 5'10 with a weight of 67 kg. Do I need surgery, or can I continue living like this without any issues?

NO NEED OF SX IS NO SYMPTOMS.

I've been experiencing this strange body shake with every heartbeat, and its been going on for about four months now. I've had an echo and an ECG, both of which came back normal. But I can still see my fingers, hand, stomach, and even my head shake with each heartbeat. It's really puzzling me. What could be causing this?
