Can Mould Cause Tachycardia?

My 12 year old daughter suffered from tachycardia a couple of months ago. She is perfectly healthy, active. By the time she was brought into the ER by ambulance from school her heart rate was 205 bpm. She had an ultrasound and heart monitor all results were normal.We found a large amount of mold in her room behind her dresser and under it, could this episode be due to mold exposure?

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello ,

I understand your concern.

I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.

Mould never causes tachycardia.

Mould can cause respiratory infection, superficial or subcutaneous infection.

Mould has nothing to do with the heart so it never causes tachycardia.

But having large mould at home is serious issue and can cause other health issues. I suggest you to do some engineering method to remove those molds or you can spray some fungicidal chemicals that can cause destruction of the mold. In long period it can cause allergic reaction to you and your children.

I will be happy to answer your further concern you can contact me here or you can contact me on bit.ly/DrArun
