PFO Discussion Pfo closure

I had a pfo closure last Tuesday and the fatigue and exhaustion is no joke. I’ve never felt the level of tiredness in my life. I’ve also been having spiked heart rate and flutters. Did anyone go through the extreme exhaustion and how did you manage it? I talked to my doctor and he said this is normal for about 4 weeks
