Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since her ecg is normal and she is young, no need to worry for heart diseases.
In my opinion, she is having panic disorder.
This is very common in teenage.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in her life.
She may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, she will be alright with counseling and drugs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
