I would ask for a cardiac pet/ct procedure with the proper tracer as soon as possible.

Thank you for that, I've not been told a proper procedure to even look for. I will see if they feel it is necessary.

I went today, but they said this procedure didnt make any sense to run based on my symptoms so they did not do so. They ran an EKG and ultrasound, which were both normal. They had no explanation for the spikes and told me it was likely nutritional. I've been after GIs for 3 years to help me with that and have gotten nothing, so that's not really much help to me :/
My takeaway from this is that these readings are indeed normal and of no concern. I cannot imagine they would've let me leave with no follow up or referrals otherwise. They gave me the holter monitor but if it's just the same as everything i showed them and it wasnt concerning then, I'm not really sure what it will achieve?
