As of now I think you have to report the visit for the virus. You don't have to talk about any EKG results if the doc said they're normal.

If you go to a specialist, you'll have to report that and explain why. But if you have any doubt about your health based on what the doc said, you should follow up. Can't hurt, since you're still in training.
I appreciate the response. I run very frequently and never have issues with my chest or have any sort of breathing problems. I'll schedule an appointment with a specialist just to be on the safe side of things before I proceed any further with my training. Thanks again.
