What Causes Visible Heart Beats In A Child?

Hi, this question is regarding my 10 year old son. Recently he had a growth spurt and grew 2 inches and thinned out a bit. He just had a physical and he is healthy. However I noticed after he is active, running around etc I can see his heart beat. Is this normal in a thin child?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I understand your concern.

Your 10 year old child is thin in structure. After having a high physical activity, heart beats more often and stronger.

When having a thin structure, heart beats can be visible.
That's completely normal as long as clinical check up is clear.

All the best.
