He reported symptoms of a racing heartbeat, chest discomfort, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and nausea. He denied visual changes, numbness, tingling, or weakness. The patient and his mother were brought to the onsite ambulance where they shared his past medical history of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome treated previously with three cardiac ablations.
