Default Heart symptoms w/PCS?

First, I apologize if this has been addressed before (I did search).

I let my son go to the YMCA w/friends yesterday to shoot baskets ( a skill he had completely lost til recently). He did very little jumping or running, pretty much just standing and shooting according to him and his friend.

He had to quit because his heart started racing, both arms were tingly, vision was black and fuzzy, and his jaw was tight. He apparently tried to call me, but must not have dialed correctly.

I checked his blood pressure at home an hour or two later and it was 129/89 and pulse was 110. He felt "fine."

I made him lie down for 10 min and rechecked. Then it was 79/48 and pulse of 78!

He is a physically healthy boy. Weighs a whopping 135 at 6'2". Well hydrated. His blood pressure had been on the higher end of normal since the unjury, but at dr on Wed was ? 104/75?.

Anyone else have these symptoms? This is not the first time he's shot baskets, just the first time he's had these symptoms.
