My oldest son is 11 years old. Super athletic, he plays football, baseball, and basketball and is good at all of them. No physical issues whatsoever, he is typically one of the fastest and best conditioned kids on every team. My wife took him in for a routine football physical several weeks ago. Order of events:

Initial nurse check, all is well with a normal heart rate.
Goes back to room, thinks he is getting shots and gets nervous when the doctor comes in. The kid is a huge sissy when it comes to shots.
Doctor finds high heart rate, sends him back out to calm down which only stresses him out.
Comes back in, still a high heart rate, doctor orders an EKG.
Heart rate still high, he gets a 24 hour heart monitoring device the next day.
After returning the device we had my wife’s PA sister take his heart rate several times, I believe it was at about 110 bpm. Nothing of concern for her.
We heard back today that the device recorded a heart rate at up to 210 bpm on several occasions, including when they installed it.
Now we are being told that he will likely need to visit a pediatric cardiologist.

Obviously this is not the entire picture, everything is through my wife and I don’t think the doctor has given her very much information. I keep telling her to ask more questions. Should I be concerned? Because he’s so healthy otherwise I have a hard time believing that he has a heart issue.
