Irregular heartbeat

Hi posting here for traffic and alert for overprotective mother.
Ds us at university and he messaged me early this morning saying he has chest pain that started last night around 11pm after eating and he generally worried as it wasn't going away. He went to a walk in centre and they did a ecg which showed heartbeat was slightly irregular but they said its normal at his age 21 years old and they said its indigestion and to take otc indigestion remedies and if it doesn't improve or gets worse to see his gp and that they are confident that he doesn't have a cardiac problem. However I'm fretting yes sorry I know but do you think it should be investigated further.

Yes he should get referred to cardiology. I had atopic beats. Severe end of the scale. Gp didnt listen til I recorded ecgs on my smart watch and posted the printouts to the surgery. Had a 24 hr tape done and bloods (for a seperate issue) showed folate anaemia which can cause it so now on treatment. Your sons issues may not be mine but if in doubt you should always follow it up
