Now that I’ve had a day to think about it, I realize why this comment bothered me so much. This reminded me so much of an experience I had as a highschooler. At a sports physical I checked off that there were times with intense activity that I feel dizzy and near syncope. My wonderful pediatrician appropriately referred me to cardiology. The doctor did an EKG, listen to my heart and noted very slight murmur, and cleared me to participate in sports. Oh and of course to make sure that I stayed hydrated and was eating salt.
