[QUOTE="ksm, post: 699141, member: 12511"] We saw the pediatric oncologist yesterday, they did a couple more tests of her heart and do not think this is a heart problem. They suggested that when she has another episode to take ibuprofen on a regular basis for five days and see if that makes them less frequent. They believe there may be some inflammation of chest wall muscles that might be causing the pain. But they said that mechanically her heart is fine. If things continue or become more frequent, they can send us home with a small device about the size of a cell phone. If she has chest pains, she holds the device over her heart and it will record the event. The. You use a telephone to transmit the i do to their office for reviews. You keep the device for one month. It isn't something you wear like the old halter monitors. But, even the cardiologist is baffled by her dads sudden cardiac arrest over two years ago. He now has an Implanted defibrillator in case his hear goes I. To v-fib rhythm. The last time he saw a cardiologist for follow up, there had been some abnormal rhythms, but not enough that he was aware of it, or that the device had to activate itself. KSM [/QUOTE]
