I know its going to go away eventually, but sometimes it just lasts longer than others.Niese said hes only experienced the rapid heart rate when pitching. He went through all sorts of tests three years ago and was cleared by doctors, so he doesnt take any special medication.After the game Friday night, he said he was still deciding whether to have more tests.Unless I got a procedure done, theres a chance that it can come back.

He even wore a monitor for 24 hours to measure his heart throughout the day.This is the first time its happened since, Niese said. So once every two years, I will take that.Niese also underwent an extra EKG at spring training in 2012 and was declared healthy.It just comes out of nowhere.
