He was born with a hole in his heart (ASD) and cardiomegaly, but it’s resolved. Currently, no symptoms that were aware of. He has a holter monitor currently. I, on the other hand, get episodes where my heart will randomly start racing, bad cramping headache and my vision goes black, but I’m not sure what it is (LQTS or an arrhythmia or anything). I’m waiting for more testing to be done.
