Hey, i m going for a scan next month and don t quite know what to expect, i was bike riding a few weeks ago and when i got back it felt like i was having a heart attack, i got it checked out by my gp he said it may be quietning of the heart, what is this? im 14.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor,\"Quieting of the heart\" may mean that your heart rate was slow. The doctor or his nurse probably took your heart rate which is a reading of how fast your pulse was. Or perhaps they did an EKG = electrocardiogram? EKG can show slow or sometimes a fast heart rate and other arrhythmias = abnormalities of the electrical function of the heart. At your young age of 14 you are not likely to have a heart attack. The scan you are going for next month may be a so-called Echo = Echocardiogram which is an ultrasound of your heart where they will look at how your heart is build and if there are any abnormalities. Wishing you best of health.
