My Dd (3 Years) Has A Sinus Arrhythmia. The Pediatrician Found It By Ekg. He Also Did And X Ray.?

Filed in Category Pediatric Associates

He said it is very common and did not recommend seeing a pediatric cardiologist. SHe has chest pain, which is how he found it in the first place, and clammy hands and her abdomen hurts at times when she plays too hard. She breathes loudly while at rest and sometimes snores. I am so scared that he is missing something and want to take her to the local children’s hospial.
ARE CLAMMY HANDS, CHEST PAIN, SNORING, AND LOUD BREATHING SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH A HARMLESS SINUS ARRHYTHMIA?

    Sinus arrythmia is NORMAL and it is seen in ALL children . Typically the pulse quickens with exhalation and slows down with inhalatiion .
    The snoring and loud breathing point toward an ENT cause , like adenoids .
    Clammy hands , abdomen pain and chest pain are rather subjective and could be due to anything . You should only be alarmed if more obvious signs appear to you , for instance bluish discoloration , rapid breathing , changes in urination habits , swelling in the body etc

    i would take her to the children’s hospital for a second opinion… can’t be too careful when it comes to our kids…
