What would cause my 5yr old son a rapid heart beat 100 plus beats?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Many possiblities: Running around. Pain, fever. Excitement. Lots of things. During activity, a child's heart rate can go up over 100 very easily. With vigorous exercise it might be nearly twice that.

May be normal: For a five year old normal heart beat 90 to 110. However if you have any kind of rhythm problems, let him be seen by a pediatrician.
