A 6-year-old having a 100 heart rate per minute while sleeping can be normal. For kids, the rate of the heart can change with the activities they do, the emotions they feel, and the sleep. The abnormality of the heart rate to 100 while sleeping can be because of dreams or a low-grade virus infection. If your child seems ok as well as doesn't have any other symptoms, observe the situation. If you are worried or you see any odd symptoms, talk to a cardiologist.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a condition where the heart's muscle thickens. This makes pumping blood difficult for the heart. Some people don't experience symptoms. Others may have chest pain, breathlessness, or fatigue. Medicines help the heart work better and reduce complication risk. Sometimes, a septal myectomy procedure improves blood flow by removing part of the thickened muscle.

You're concerned about your 6-year-old child having rheumatic heart disease (RHD). This condition develops after strep throat infections. Signs like chest discomfort, breathing issues, and tiredness may appear. Confirming RHD requires tests like echocardiograms. Treatment involves medication to control symptoms and prevent complications, plus regular cardiologist visits. Remember, prioritize a nutritious diet and physical activity for your child's heart health.

Your baby unfortunately has a double aortic arch, which is a makeup of his heart and vessels. It means the aorta, a major blood vessel, does not take its usual path. That is why children may have trouble breathing and difficulty swallowing. The good news is that this can be treated with surgery performed after the baby is born for most of the children. Doctors will talk more about what that means and guide you through it.
