[quote=Anonymous]I was super paranoid when we started so we did a full cardiac workup to look for any occult cardiac issues. That's probably overkill, but some people say all teen athletes should have that anyway. You might be able to get your insurance to cover it (I think ours did). But there's really been no issues. If your child is having ongoing heart palpitations with hte medicine, you should be bringing the dose down or trying a different medicine anyway. I think you really need to be at a high dose before you get those negative cardiac side effects. It sounds like your child's symptoms are fairly mild and you should definitely be at a low doseage. I would avoid any doctor that doesn't start you at the lowest dose and gradually increase from there. [/quote]
