      I would take him to A&E where they can do tests now rather than wait for an appointment.

      Does he have a temperature?

    Yeah the doctor said that if it happens again try and get him to hospital while having the attack so they can see whats happening to his heart during one

      Did they offer any explanation as to why it happens in the mornings?

      Does he have any problems at school to induce anxiety in the morning?
