What causes faster heartbeat to a 9 month baby while doing something?
Patient: hi i have a baby boy 9 months , and evry tame he plays or when he is doing something he breathe verry farst , he gets verry tierd , is that normal ?? i have mention to the doctor and the health visitor but they all ways say the same thing ..has anyone smoks on the house ? can you please help me ? what should i do to find out if is ok ? Doctor: Hi,Welcome to HCM,Faster heart beat and a faster respiration during activity is normal in any child. I would be interested to know if he can do little bit of activity which normally any child of his age group can do without any tiredness? I mean to say, does he gets really tired to have to rest on doing normal activities like breast feeding or drinking from bottle etc. If that's the case, I would suggest you to get him evaluated by a pediatric cardiologist and make sure his heart is normal. And if that's normal, starting iron syrup for him would help. Happy to clear any further doubts. Take care.
