A 14-year-old presents to the clinic complaining that they have been having chest pain with accompanying shortness of breath and subsequent numbness in both arms. These events have occurred only at school prior to examinations and oral presentations. The patient states that they feel like they are going to “pass-out” during these events. The history and examination reveals a well, 14-year-old with no underlying family history of sudden cardiac death and no past medical history of underlying cardiac issues. What should the nurse practitioner explain to the patient and the parent about their symptoms?
