A member asked:

My 4 year old son has started saying his heart is beating really hard+fast+that it sometimes hurts him. he could maybe be walking for 5-10mins?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely Normal: Palpitations ("my heart is beeping") and transient chest pain are very common complaints in 4 year olds, and odds are strongly in favor of this being normal. If it seems to really affect children, a visit to a pediatric cardiologist can be helpful.
