Dear sir
Children usually have a increased heart beats, but it may vary upto 150 beats per minutes.
I dont think it might be of concern, but if there is any signs of cyanosis, clubing and other congenital heart disease then it is of concern.
So for all these things you need to consult your cardiologist once if you feel there is some abnormality
thanks
