I am desperate and he is having these chest pains every day now

[Becca138]

My son is 15 and every night my son experiencing a fast rapid heart rate it's about 124 and up beats per min and it's really fast and he has chest pains when heart rate beating really fast and he has hard time breathing and sore left side of the chest and when this happening I kept going to the emerge but when we are in the waiting room it slows down as a normal heart rate and breathing goes back to normal plus we had three akg's and doctors say their is nothing wrong and it's always a different doctor that tells me that their is nothing wrong and I know their is something wrong because when he does have these rapid heart beats and sore chest and can't hardly breath I record them and they last for half hour to 40 mins now before when it started it was lasting for 10 to 15 mins long and I know they are getting worse but the akg' s say their is nothing wrong and the doctors relies on these machines and I need help what can I do because they are getting worse and it's hurting him when he gets the rapid heart rate.

I think that instead of going to the ER and having the same thing happen repeatedly there, it would be a good idea to get an appointment with his regular pediatrician or doctor to talk about this and get a throrough exam.

The talking part, in a non-stressed situation, is important, because you will get a chance to calmly discuss your son's medical history and the possible causes of his problem.  You will also have a chance to talk about having him wear a Holter monitor for anywhere from 24 hour to a number of days, so as to catch and record one of these painful events.
