My very athletic 16 yr old daughter has had a heart monitor on for 2 weeks. She s just been told she has an irregular heart beat, we are waiting for further tests...full head mri, ct scan, ecg. She has low blood pressure and low iron. She s been passing out 3X in 1 week and stops breathing when she does...can u point me to possible causes ?
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I carefully passed through your question and would explain that her symptoms seem to be related to chronic anemia. Nevertheless, other possible causes should be excluded too: - cardiomyopathy- thyroid dysfunction- electrolyte dysfunction, etc. That is why I would recommend performing further tests: - a cardiac ultrasound-thyroid hormone levels-blood electrolytes. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Meanwhile, I would recommend taking plenty of fluids and avoid physical exertion or prolonged standing up position, which could lead to falling. Hope to have been helpful! Wishing all the best,
