I have palpitations during sport, i had an stresstest + echo everything was ok the cardiologist said, the internet says it can be deadly, it scares me?

Internet: A good stress test and Echo lowers your probability of 'deadly' to very low. You can't get guarantees in medicine. As far as 'I read it on the net,' this sites' 'experts' are vetted somewhat, not so the net in general. Be careful what you allow to scare you.
