Should I Be Worried For SADS In A Child, If She Has Irregular Heart Beats?

Hi! My 6 year old daughter told me this evening that her heart was beating really fast then stopping then starting slow again. This has happened to me as well. My mother has had surgery for an extra pathway in her heart and she has Mitro Valve Prolapse. Should I worry about SADS with her. She is asleep and I am a little scared about it.

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hi,

If there was no fainting, you shouldn't worry.
But I would advise you to take an appointment with a cardiologist and undergo examinations, such as ECG, echocardiography and holter monitoring.

Hope I could help you

Wishing a good health to your daughter
