Hi please can you tell me if this is normal. I have a  7 year old daughter. Her heart beat is very strong and you can feel the beat through her clothes when I lay my hand on her chest. It feels like she had such a rapid heart rate, but yet when I have done a home blood pressure rest her heart bear per minute is normal, varies from 85 to 100 per minute on different days. I have taken her to the GP and has checked her and said it was all normal.Please could you tell me what your thoughts are.Many thanks. As Im extremely worried.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Heart beats can normally increase during certain times during excitement, increased physical activity, fever, increased heat etc. but the sleeping or resting heart rate is usually normal. You need to figure out Jen does the heart beat increase or become evident in your girl. If no reason for the rate to be high and still she has that high heart beat then its abnormal. Heart beats can be felt normally in some child Chat Doctor.  I understand your concern, so its better you consult a cardiologist to get an ECG and echo evaluation done which are simple non-invasive tests and that will rest all your worries. Hope I made myself clear to you. Take care.
