A member asked:
What will happen to a 8yr old if he has irregular arrythmia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart skipping: Most 8Y.O. Children have healthy hearts. Skipping of the heart if recent could be something important and if for a long time probably not. Thyroid problems, valve problems of heart or a recent viral illness could be causes. But if he appears well and runs about with no problems then he is probably fine.
