He also said he felt extremely emotional. He had one meal that day, but a lot of fluid including some with caffeine. The ER also said his chest xray was ok as was his blood work. This is not the first time, but we seem to be concentrating on a heart issue, but I think that is a symptom not the problem. He is otherwise healthy and in his early twenties. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
