Chest Pain With Fast Heart Rate. EKG Showed Extra Heart Beats. Prescribed Pepcid. Cause And Cure?

Thank you for your query.
Extra heart beats can occur due to a number of reasons and occasionally there may be no reason for it. Apart from EKG the doctor has done the right thing by ordering a holter test and an echocardiography. The holter test will show the EKG tracing over the 24 hour period and the occurrences of the extra beat. The echocardiography will give the functional and structural condition of the heart.
Let us wait for the reports of the two test apart from the blood investigations before the doctor can guide you on the further course of management.
I hope I have responded to your query to your satisfaction. Please feel free to revert back in case you need any clarifications or would like to share more facts of the case.
Wishing your daughter all the best.
Regards,
RKK
