What Causes Fluttering In Chest In Case Of A Child?
my 10 year old son complained of what he described as fluttering in his chest after football practice. he said it occurs sometimes when he is involved in strenuous exercise. i asked if it hurt and he said no..it just feels weird and almost seems to tickle. no dizziness, weakness or anything else. is this a case of him just being tired and anxious or something else?

Hi...after strenuous exercise this type of feeling is quite common but at the same time other differential diagnosis like -
1. Mitral Valve prolapse
2. Aortic stenosis and
3. Sinus tachycardia should be kept in mind.
I suggest you consult your paediatrician and get your son evaluated and then if nothing is found out, it is physiological and you can be rest assured.
