What Causes Arrhythmia In A Child?
Hi i have been checking my 5 yr old daughters heart rate while she is asleep and have noticed that her heart skips a beat every 5-7 beats. I checked my 7 yr old son and his is not doing the same. Is it normal for a childs heart to be skipping a beat like this?

Hi,
I understand your concerns but you should have this evaluated by an ECG and an echocardiogram to detect what Is causing the skipped beats.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
