What Causes Faster Heart Beat And Tingling In Arms During Exercise?

My son, 14 years old, 6'2", 195 pounds, size 17 shoes.... big boy.... Started last month noticing his heart "beating really hard" and getting out of breath during exercise. He's in great shape, competitive basketball player, but seems to get winded and feels his heart beating with moderate activity. We have seen an electrophysiologist, had an EKG, an echo cardiogram, and stress test. ALL came back normal. No irregular beats. Just yesterday, he noticed a tingling in his arms during exercise..... What could all of this be?

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since his extensive cardiac reports are normal, no need to worry for heart related diseases.
You should also rule out asthma because asthma affects younger individuals and shows similar symptoms like breathlessness on exertion, chest pain etc.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test).
He may need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on the basis of this reports.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
