What Causes Heart Palpitations Once In A While?
My daughter just told me that every once in a while during running or soccer her heart starts racing. This has been going on for over month and she told me that she is very scared. I felt her chest and her heart was racing very fast. After about 30 seconds it started to slow down. Sometimes she feels it beating down her left arm. Should I take her to the ER tonight or schedule an appointment with the doctor in the morning?
