My 12 year old daughter suffered from tachycardia a couple of months ago. She is perfectly healthy, active. By the time she was brought into the ER by ambulance from school her heart rate was 205 bpm. She had an ultrasound and heart monitor all results were normal.We found a large amount of mold in her room behind her dresser and under it, could this episode be due to mold exposure?
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern. Mould never causes tachycardia. Mould can cause respiratory infection, superficial or subcutaneous infection. Mould has nothing to do with the heart, so it never causes tachycardia. But having large mold at home is serious issue and can cause other health issues. I suggest you to do some engineering method to remove those molds, or you can spray some fungicidal chemicals that can cause destruction of the mold. In long period it can cause allergic reaction to you and your child Chat Doctor. I will be happy to answer your further concern you can contact me here, or you can contact me on bit.ly/
