Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i was thinking back to when i was a little child, and i remember having to see a cardiologist every year when i was very young (unit i was about 7 or 8) i remember waiting a long time to go in and every time i went, they sent me home with a small machine that had wires all on my chest , and they would tell me i had to come back until my mom just stopped taking me oh yah and they used to do an ultra sound of my chest i was just wondering if anybody else had to go throught the same thing or if its normal for a child, because my mom wont tell me why
The wires all over your chest could have been a Holter Monitor which they use to "monitor" abnormal heart rhythms to see if any are present. It would be foolish for your mother not to tell you about this because some day, it could become an important part of your health history. Ask her again and tell her it is important for you to know this information.
