Why Is My Grandson Shaking His Head Side To Side?

My grandson just had a heart catheter which caused his heart to have an irregular heart beat for a couple of hours. It did go back to normal but now he shakes his head from side to side constantly, could it be that he s in pain? He will sometimes do that when he s fighting sleep but it s not constantly.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM forum,
I would need more details on this.
1. How old is your grand son?
2. What exactly was the procedure done on him and when?
3. IS he on any medications ? If yes, details?
4. How often he does this? Is this continuous or he calms down by himself.

Kindly revert to me with the details.
I find this answer helpful
