What Causes Irregular Heart Beats In A Child?
I think my 4 year old son has an arithmetic heartbeat? It seems to skip a beat then has an unusual pattern slowing down before increasing and settling back to a regular pattern then will miss a beat again approximately every 10-15 seconds. Should I be concerned by this and do I need to take him to out GP? He is fit and healthy generally.

Hello,
If you suspect irregular beats, you can consult a paediatrician and get an EKG done to rule out conditions like cardiac arrhythmia for your reassurance.
