What Causes Faster Heart Beat To A 7 Year Old?
My 7 yr old son has been complaining his heart is beating really fast, not all the time maybe every other week, but only started happening last few months . And looks pale when he says this and just wants to rest. What could it be and should I take him to see a doctor

This can be a normal response during exercise or during increased physical activity. Arrhythmia is a condition of heart with abnormal rhythms which can be diagnosed with ECG. Some structural or acquired heart diseases may also present as such symptoms. Hyper thyroid children can also have palpitation. It will be better that you show your child to a doctor to rule out any abnormal conditions.
