Question: My 43 year old son is having symptoms that can't be nailed down. He has seen a cardiologist. He is is good physical condition and rides bike over 2,000 miles each summer. But this spring he's had chest pains. His heart rate goes way lower than normal to way above normal. They thought it might be something electrical but were unable to pinpoint it. They were going to do a XXXXXXX last week but insurance told them to do an MRI. Inconclusive. Some calcification in arteries but no blockage detected. Yesterday he told me that he has been forgetful and sometimes doesn't know where he is. He got angry because he couldn't write with a ball point pen only to find he didn't push the button. He dumped the sewage from his camper, but left his camper at the dump site and started to walk home. He was halfway home before he realized it. He was just referred to a neurologist yesterday. Very scary.

I will ask if my son has a copy of those reports. I'm not aware of any previous medications before March of this year, and I don't know what medications they have tried. I will try to get that information, but may not have it for several hours. He does not drink alcohol at all (never has, to my knowledge), does not smoke. There is a history of type 2 diabetes in my side of the family. I became diabetic about 2 years ago, and am taking metformin, and my father had about the same timing. XXXXXXX has been referred to a neurologist.
