i have a 10 yr old girl and her school called me and said her heart rate was 180bps and she said her chest was hurting and she had a headache, then after she laid down and rest for a while it still stayed about 148 and didnt go much lower, Is there anything i can do to help her, or anyone have any ideas what this may be?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) is more likely for her fast heart rate. Resting heart rate of 148 is also very high. So immediately consult cardiologist and get done 1. ECG 2. 2d echo 3. Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). She will need anti arrhythmia Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, with treatment she will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
