My daughter (6) has been having palpitations for quite a few weeks now, happens at varying times and not always when she has been running around. I took her to the doctors 3 weeks ago and they have referred her to see a paediatrician and cardiologist (not sure if that will be one person or two?) she said she would probably need blood tests and some kind of heart monitoring (ecg?) The appointment is next week but im not sure if it will just be a consultation to plan what tests need to be done or if they will be doing the tests at that appointment.
Has anyone had any experience of this before? Would like to try and prepare DD for what will be happening, (she has already decided and told her friends and teacher that she is having a heart operation )
Thanks.
