Heart beat

2020-12-28 14:01:03
My son 8 yr old has a heart rate between 88 to 125 during normal activity and sometimes while playing it goes up to 156. Is this normal? He has not complained of any short breath or any uneasiness, he seems active, but sometimes he says his heart is beating fast. When I place my hand in his chest i can feel it too. He is tall and thin built. All other activities are normal. Should I be worried?

Do not worry and let him grow up fully. In case of any symptoms consult directly with your nearby Cardio largest.
