HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such diarrhea in this age is self limiting and hydration would be matter of concern, heart rate is very fluctuating phenomenon in children and this is nothing to worry and if you want to clear the doubt then better to get done the clinical examination with pediatrician this is the only option you have otherwise no need to worry about this, hope this helps, take care and have a nice day.
