I think my 4 year old has tachycardia. When it happens he tells me he feels his heartbeat which im assuming is palpitations.You can physically see his heartbeating rapidly in hus neck and he will say he needs to lay down. Is thus something I should be concerned about?
Usually, children will more heart rate tan adult. But your son himself feeling his palpitation and difficult. Better go to your doctor and have cardio check up for any congenital heart disease.
