What is the normal heart rate for children?

Children's heart rate is slightly faster than that of adults, so many parents worry that their children may have a fast heart rate. As we all know, a fast heart rate has a great impact on the normal development and health of children. Many parents know that their children's heart rate is very fast, but they don't know whether it is within the normal range. Therefore, let us introduce how many beats a child's normal heart rate is per minute.

The normal heart rate of a child is relatively fast. Most children will beat 90-130 times a minute. The younger the child, the faster the heart rate. Especially for newborns, the heart rate may be faster, usually reaching more than 130 beats a minute. A healthy child's heart rate will also fluctuate depending on the living environment. If the child is nervous or in an unfamiliar environment, or engages in strenuous activities, his or her heart rate will increase. Therefore, when measuring a child's heart rate, it is still necessary to measure it in a quiet environment.

If a child's heart beats too many or too few times for a long time, it will cause an abnormal heart rate. There are many reasons for abnormal heart rate, such as strenuous exercise or illness. Once the heart rhythm is abnormal, timely treatment is needed.

When a child has an abnormal heart rate, he or she should seek medical attention for a detailed examination to see if there is a problem with the heart organ. When the heart rate is abnormal, it is still necessary to change the lifestyle, such as developing the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, especially for children, to go to bed early at night. At the same time, if a child is too obese, it will cause a burden on the heart and increase the heart rate. Therefore, children should pay attention to maintaining a healthy body shape. Obese children should actively exercise and control their weight and stabilize their heart rate by adjusting their diet.

Children's heart rate will change due to the influence of the external environment, so parents must actively observe their children's mental state and pay more attention to measuring their children's heart rate. Once an abnormal heart rate is found, correct treatment measures must be taken in time, and prevention should also be done in daily life.
