I have tachycardia but sounds like a different kind because I never had those symptoms you listed, besides heart palpitations - a high pulse rate around 130. With Altenenol my pulse rate is around 70.
My cardiologist said with (untreated) tachycardia the heart will eventually wear itself out and stop beating on its own. That is fatal.
It's treatable, so not seeing a specialist for ECG's etcetera and not handling the condition properly (before it worsens) with medication is reckless and irresponsible.
Knowledge is key and fear or carelessness can be fatal. Preventative medical care and acting fast to find out what treatments are available saves lives.
I have muscular dystrophy, I sure wish there was an option for treatment and a cure but there isn't either! One who is fortunate to get medical help and refuses for any reason, be it fear, ignorance, or whatever is truly nonsensical to me.
If your son is a minor then don't give him the choice to refuse. If an adult, well or sounds like he needs intervention by a mental health professional.
My depression has made me selfish in the past. I try to keep up on my mental physical health to the best of my ability so that I don't hurt my loved ones. I can't blame my depression for not showing up, taking care of my body and so forth. We all must have self-love, to continue to work on improving ourselves, do our best, take accountability and be responsible. Its adulting. It isn't easy but sure as heck beats taking the easy way out giving up.
Be patient, give/show more love, don't abandon your child no matter their age because being there means everything.
I believe with love and kindness all things are possible. I'm cheering for both of you. 🤗💕🙏
I'm fortunate to be able to have a beta-blocker to slow down my heart.
