Playing Hockey And Lacrosse. Did Physicals Before EKG. Having Rapid Heart Beat And Advised Not To Play. Suggest Solutions?

My 18 year old son has played hockey and lacrosse all his life. He has always had physicals before each season with each sport and nothing ever showed up. He took a physical along with EKG for college lacrosse and was called today with news that he may have a rapid heart beat. We are scheduled to have a doctor's appointment on Friday to discuss this. He was told he could practice but not play any games until we see the doctor. Can you give me more information of what may cause this and solutions.

Hi, it appears to be the physiologica tachy cardia, for this he needs councilling by the parents, probably due to anxiety of the E.C.G. he would have some tension. Any how there is no problem regarding this. Let the medical examination be done after the councilling.
He is 18 years and so long he didn't have any problem, so long he was playing, and heart problems won't come suddenly. Show him this text. Avoid giving him spicy foods, junk foods, and oily foods, till he pass through the medical examination.
He will be fine in the medical . Thank you.
