To not panic

[MyOtherCarIsAPorsche]

Just read a thread about a child with tachycardia.

Checked grandson's (sleepover night) heartbeat on Neebo and it's 177beats per minute for periods of time since he went to bed.

His epilepsy occurs mainly at night - I can't see him having seizures but he's restless. Almost as if he's constantly on the move. He's 3 years old.

I've rung his mum after seeing the earlier post and she's said she's aware of the high heart rate and actually set the alarm to go off at a higher rate because the alarm on the Neebo was was constantly sounding throughout the night.

Does this need investigating? Or just a mention to his epilepsy nurse - no panic?

I guess his mum has it all under control so don't panic.

She says its normal for him tonight, and she will be under the guidance of his team and feed back anything that needs it to them herself.

I'll be up all night watching him now 😳

Wish I didn't know his heart rate.

If he's moving a lot, which you've said he is, then that can also affect the HR and give false highs. If you're really concerned (and understand why) wake him up- if it's responsive, it's not a fit. If your confident to actually assess his pulse (brachial is easiest in the crook of the elbow) then it may very well be different to the machine- they aren't infallible- if his parents are ok, you've identified your concern and they aren't- maybe they are used to innacurate reading due to body movements?
