What Causes Heart Palpitations With Breathlessness In A Child?
My son is 7 and a very active child. His heart beats very fast even when sleeping. He gets out of breath quite quickly while running r playing. He doesn t gain very much weight. He heart beats so.fast at times I think it will burst thru his chest. What worries me is that this happens at nite too. Any advice?? Thanks

Hi.... I understand your concern. I suggest that you get him evaluated by a pediatrician and also take in ECG. It could be a cardiac Rhythm disorder which needs to be identified as the child is not gaining weight well also.
