View allMy son's heart rate was 160 on June 21, 2017 should we be worried? What are the options for surgery or controlling a high heart rate?
A heart rate of 160 beats per minute (bpm) on June 21, 2017, for your son could be a cause for concern, as it's significantly higher than a normal resting heart rate for a child of that age. Depending on your son's age at the time, this could indicate tachycardia, a rapid heartbeat, which may require medical attention. If the heart rate was sustained for a period and was accompanied by other symptoms like dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest pain, seeking immediate medical advice is crucial.

I'm really worried about my baby who's been diagnosed with a hole in the heart. Can you recommend the best doctor for us to visit for a thorough check-up? Also, I've heard that there might be some Ayurvedic treatments available for this condition. Do you have any insights on whether that's a good option to explore?
I'm really sorry to hear about your baby's condition. For a hole in the heart (which could be a congenital heart defect), it's best to consult a pediatric cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and treatment options. While Ayurvedic treatments may help with overall health, they are not a substitute for medical intervention in such cases.
