What Causes Faster Heartbeat To A 11 Year Old Kid?
Hi, my 11 year old Daughter has complained that her heart keeps beating fast and makes her feel a little shaky, this feeling comes and goes, This is something she has complained about last year and i took her to the Doctors who checked her and we put it down to panic.She thought she had Cancer, which the Doctor confirmed and reassured her it wasn t. Have you any additional info i can give her and could it be food related?

Hi....by what you quote I feel that your daughter might be having panic attacks and can present with unexplained faster heart beats with fear of unknown or known assumptions. As you quote that a doctor has checked, I am also convinced about it. I suggest you get her evaluated by a child psychologist.
