Hi, your child might have a syncopal attacks,the reason may be decreased blood flow to brain for a while as heart rate as you have elucidated is 52/min.It may also occur due to decreased blood glucose because of skipping of breakfast.It needs proper evaluation as being done by your doctor to find out the cause.Thanks
