Hi, This is Chat Doctor. Welcome. The condition you are telling is a serious thing. If there are clots inside your heart & they are moving than you should be alarmed. These clots can go to brain (as you said they have already gone), Lung-causing pulmonary embolism which is also a serious condition. They can go to extremities like hands & legs and can cause gangrene. We generally give blood thinner to such patients which helps in keeping the blood thin & thus decrease embolism. These blood thinner should continue life long. You will also need a trans esophageal echo(TEE) to know exactly the size of hole & whether it could be closed. So please make an appointment with your cardiologist soon for further management. If you want any further help, I'll be happy to assist you. Thanks
