Question
My 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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.
