A member asked:

16 yo son had an ekg indicating rt atrial enlargement. weeks til referral apt for ecg. is a note for no rotc pt needed? shortness of breath

A doctor has provided 1 answer

YES!: It is very prudent to get a note exempting your son from strenuous excercise until he has been evaluated by a cardiologist. Breathlessness with excercise is the heart signaling inability to tolertate that level of activity. Take care!
