Posting here for traffic.

DS(7) is we just about to play a game before bed. He said his heart was beating fast. This was 30 mins ago and his heart rate is still through the roof. We've tried deep breathing, drinking water, listening to his videos but it's not slowing. He doesn't feel sick or anything.

What should I do? Would it be OTT to go to hospital?

You can get an app on your phone, put finger to the light.

I don't have anything to measure it properly but I can literally feel it beating really fast just by lightly putting my hand on his chest. It's as though he's been running. 111 might be a good shout

How fast is it?

Maybe ring 111 first?
