My grandaughter is now 14 years old she has had two trips to the emergency hosp.
she feels she can not breath ( the emerg. center gave her albuterol and sent her to the hosp in an ambulanc)
her blood pressure was, 170 over 90 (at rest
her heart rate 170 give or take
she is 5'8" slim
and no drugs were found in the blood test
She was seen at university hosp Lexington Ky...... We are left feeling very unsure and frightend

I agree with you that the only dumb question is an unasked one. You said that she 'hides' the facts; who is she hiding the facts from? The doctors? Her parents? It would probably be best for her to see a pediatric cardiologist and let him decide if this is something that has to be worried about. Any chance of her seeing a PC?
the emerg. people thought that the right lung was getting no air at all hence/ the albuterol
at the hosp the attending doctors said the drug should never have been given to her. 4 hours later the BP and heart rate were at the same level. all test were normal and the next week a specialist said he would watch her for a year and see. the reason for the
renewed concern is that, in a sewing class yesterday it happend again Mom came to school and took her to the doctor and again was told we will watch her. We are told by
most of the medical personell "yes we have seen this many times before, not to worry
and I don't say a thing, to the child,
BUT she hides the fact that she is tired and has to lay down and that at times her lips and her face tingles and.........I don't want to be saying one day I wish I had ask someone. I've raised many children and think the only dumb question is an un-asked one.

The first thing that comes to mind is she is a teen-ager and teens usually have hormones raging and panic easily. Her panicing will certainly raise her BP and pulse to those ranges. I'm not saying there wasn't a problem, there probably was. What did the University say?
