What Causes Headaches And Rapid Heart Rate In An Adolescent?
My son is 15 years old. We took him to the er last night because he complained about a head ache and his heart was racing. He was also short of breathe. At the er, they did an EKG and blood work. They said all tests came back normal. He was still feeling bad today and we took him to the pediatrician. He said all looked fine and maybe he was hyperventilating. We re not sure what to do.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This can be acute episodes of anxiety definitely. It's not the very serious situation but if you don't do anything for his anxiety to be under control then he might land up in trouble. Kindly take him to the quiet place and start talking to him to find out what is bothering him.
If there is any occasion, incident or anything or person who is bothering to him or if any of his problems come to the surface then it is up to you people to solve the problem which can give him all the relief from all above symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
