My four year old son has been having a hard time breathing and his heart has been beating really fast.I called his Doctor but he cant be seen for another week Sad

I was told if it gets worse to take him to the ER.I really do not want to go up there if I do not have to becase I have two other little kids and there are always bad , nasty germs floating around there.So I gess I was wondering if any one has gone through this?If so can you tell me what I chould do? Confused

Did you ever get an answer? I have a 5 year old girl who for the last 3 days has complained of her heart beating so fast. It felt like it was going to pop our of her chest and at one point she thought she was going to be sick. I called her pediatrian who had me take her pulse which was on the high end of normal. He told me to not allow her any caffiene and asked if she was on any cold neds. She was not. And said for me to monitor her pulse through out the day. if she were to wake and start immedialtely talking about her heart to call them, otherwise to monitor for the day and following up with him the next.

Scary stuff! So she is at school now, it is only 2.5 hrs. Her pulse was 100 this morning compared to the 135 last night. We will take again after school, in the late afternoon and evening and just keep a close eye on her. if it happnes again tongiht I am demanding we get into teh DR to get some blood drawn etc. She is only 5!

your child may be going through a panic attack which causes your heart to speed up. a simple solution to that is to have her run around a little bit because a panic attack is also cause when something frightens you and that is a sign that your body needs to run. so i hope this can help you
