anxiety or panic? Chest pain from ischemia would show in an ekg I think but am not sure. I think the O2 shortage changes the wave pattern that's the point of stress tests. Always smart to talk to your DR. They can do overnight EKG Holter moniters to get a snapshot of a 24 hr period. the big voodoo with ADHD meds and the anti med sites( scientology COUCH COUGH) is Sudden death which is sudden and the sites that show the case numbers omit most of the cases involve combinations of drugs taken by people not even prescribed them...lieing with statistics the American Way!
..I have anxiety disorder and the chest pains FEEL LIKE A HEART ATTACK to me when i get a panic attack. If you do some research you will see ADHD is often accompanied by anxiety disorders, depression and substance abuse. No the drugs dont make kids drug addicts at least according to recent stuff I have read. I keep reading the occurrence is higher in diagnosed unmedicated kids than those taking MEDICINE and the MEDICATION is MEDICINE for a real condition despite what the ignorant say... kinda makes sense if you think about ADHD.
I had both a baseline before medication and after EKG to check for changes btw since I do have lone atrial fibulation( controlled)My daughter had an EKG as preliminary testing prior to being medicated for ADD (no H). Since then she has complained of heart pains. Sharp pains. She tends to be a drama queen, so I'm never sure . . .
However, my sister's son also had an EKG and has since been complaining of heart pain . . .
Does this make since? Has anyone heard of this or had any experience with this?
If I am reading your question correctly...the EKG (ECG) will not cause heart problems or chest pain. If she is having chest pain then you need to speak with her doctor. It isn't a result of the EKG. Some little kids get pains like this and it is actually muscle pain or chest wall pain. If things change when she is active, gets tired, sweaty, trouble breathing then it is a definite indicator of a heart problem. My step-son suddenly had every side effect in the book and we then found out that his mom had told him what the side effects were going to be....funny that then for attention he got every one. Maybe your daughter and nephew know that they were taking a "picture" of their heart and now are hyperfocused on heart stuff. Keep an eye and talk to your doctor, but this is absolutely not caused by an EKG. Sudden death from heart problems doesn't usually have signs and symptoms, that is why it is sudden death. It is usually from an undetected heart problem. I am assuming that your MD gave your daughter a clean bill of heart health, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.Thank you "friends" for your input. I knew it didn't make sense that the EKG could do anything, but . . . you start to wonder. She would be one of those kids to "focus" on things like that . . . . .
(She always has an ache or pain, so I don't always know what to believe .)
I haven't had a sit down with the results of her eef,ekg and blood work yet. I will mention to the Dr. about these "pains". I told her I thought she stretched something.
My sister has been taking her son to get checked regarding his heart "pains", but that is because he has already started his meds and she is trying to be careful.
