Hello!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that arrhythmia could be related to the congenital heart defect or the infection.
Anyway, considering his actual symptoms, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam, a cardiac ultrasound for bacterial endocarditis, a chest X ray study or CT scan and some blood lab tests.
