A member asked:

Worried 13 ye boy has been complaining about racing heart every few days. hes not out of breath and feels fine in a matter of minutes. hes had an ekg & ultrasound of the heart 2 years ago because of high cholesterol blood work result & all was fine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A normal EKG& echocardiogram are somewhat reassuring but is.not enough to rule out recurrent cardiac arrhythmias. Outpatient cardiac monitoring for 24-48 hours or longer is important. Is there a family history of fainting, sudden deaths, serious arrhythmias? I recommend consulting a cardiology electrophysiologist for evaluation & advice and for peace of.mind. Appropriate testing will be arranged.
