What Does Resting Heart Rate Of 149 Indicate?
Question: My son has a resting heart rate of 149. He is 50 inches tall and weighs 110 pounds.
He was bit by misquitoes over the last few days. Could it be something related to that.

Brief Answer:
He needs medical attention
Detailed Answer:
Hi.....an eight year old child with a heart rate of 149 definitely needs medical attention immediately.
His height centile, I'd normal but he's definitely very obese.
Mosquito bites can cause fever and increased heart rate. But it's abnormally high for his age.
I suggest you take him to nearest emergency room immediately.

Brief Answer:
Even with diarrhea - it means he's dehydrated
Detailed Answer:
Hi....if he has diarrhea, then high heart rate means that he's dehydrated and he needs evaluation and probably may need fluid therapy too.
Even now I suggest you take him to nearest emergency room.
