A member asked:

My daughter 14 has a resting heart rate between 102-120,dizziness and center tight chest pain during exercise and goes with rest. she has palpitations and we have a family history of heart problems. ecg came back ok. she doesn't have anxiety dr said?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

She's too young to have coronary artery blockage by plaque but could be experiencing coronary artery spasm provoked by exertion. I recommend an evaluation by a cardiologist which would include a treadmill stress test and wearing of an outpatient cardiac monitor to check her heart rhythm during palpitations and look for ischemia during exertion. A lipid panel & thyroid levels are worthwhile.
