irregular heart beat in a toddler
at a routine visit my sons pediatrician noticed the irregular beating, like there was no rythem, just beating all over the place??? when he lays down I can feel it on ny hand, pumping, is that normal? The Doctor didn't make a big deal about it, but I am very concerned, has thid happened to anyone else? what causes it or fixex it.....what am i supposed to do in the mean time?
I would get another opinion, and by a cardiologist. You might call your closest children's hospital to find a pediatric physician. I would certainly look for a specialist. While it might be nothing to worry about, you need to know what is causing it.

If your son truely has an irregular heart beat and not the normal sinus arrhythmia, he should be seen by a pediatric cardiologist to find out the reason for the irregular heart beat.
