Hello dear,
Thank you for your question.
I don't have sufficient information on the ECG report to diagnose your daughter. It is common for children to have strong heartbeat (palpitations) or in the case of your daughter "irregular" rrythm (benign arrythmias). The majority of these symptoms tend to fade as the child grows and the conduction system of the heart matures. As long as you consult periodically with a specialist there is nothing to worry about.
I hope this helped.
Best wishes,
Dr. Alma
