HI

Thanks for posting your query .

Your grandson's symptoms are pretty much suggestive of a Heart Problem . Though EKG may have not shown any significant abnormalities but it doesn't mean that everything is fine with heart .

I advise you to get 2D Echo scan done which will look into his heart much better and tell us what is the condition with his heart .

At his age there are certain Congenital anomalies called Septal defects which can be easily corrected through minimal invasive surgeries if detected early . So don't neglect the symptoms and get the 2D Echo scan done as soon as possible .

Kindly revert back to me with the scan report .
Will be looking forward for your reply .

Regards.
