Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
during the day and at bed-time my 7 yr old grand-daughter screams, has increased heart rate and sweats. This began about 5 mos ago, have been called by the school re this condition, has been evaluated by Dr., nothing physical. Son-in-law quit his job and they moved into a lovely new home about six mos ago. Could this be anxiety attacks?
Maybe it is possible that new place cause anxiety. Children with congenital heart disease like ASD, VSD or PDA may present like this.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid caffeinated drinks and change the place and see. Check for blood pressure, other possibilities.
Please consult your Cardiologist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
