Hello there
Your breathlessness on exertion is because of your lung condition and very less contributed by the hole in the heart
Just get treated for the lung with inhalers and hypertension with a bit of diuretics added. If you have pulmonary hypertension sildenafil will help you
Hope your doctor agrees with this plan
All the best
