What Is The Normal Heart Rate In A Child?
What is the normal heart rate of a 20 month old? Note, he also has pectus excavatum and his heart has not been checked yet to see if the PE is effecting his heart in anyway, only xrays have been done. His heart rate runs around 130-150 at all times, I am worried about him, can you give me some insight on this please.

Hello,
It is from 70 upto 110
It is very imp to check why there is increasing in the heart rate period is usually accompanied with increased heart rate according to its degree
ECG and echo will rule out any consequent problem in the heart, also its imp to do MRI to check the degree of PE
CbC is imp because the child may be anemic
Besides, it's imp to rule out any signs of rickets as PE can be caused by Rickets..
