dr says daughters heartbeat is very soft(not right)

i posted a question earlier about my daughters hands and feet turning purple for no apparent reason.  the dr says her heartbeat is soft another words not normal sounding.  she is going to have a ultrasound of her heart in a week.  echocardiogram im not sure how to spell it.  i am concerned and wondering if anyone has any ideas what it might be.  my daughter doesn't hurt but she is tired alot.  im very uptight about it and just need some reassurance if anyone has any.
thanks

Hi !  Hope you're feeling better.  Would it be possible for you to find a Pediatric Cardiologist?  Something is not quite right with the blue color.  It denotes that the heart is not pumping enough Oxygen to the extremities.  I would go for the Pediatric Cardiologist in a flash, if your insurance lets you go without a referral.  If not, demand it from your doctor.  It's hard to be 'hard' on them, but, we have to these days, it seems.  It all else fails, go to the emergency room.  They will have to do tests,  and, you'll get a paper trail started.  They  will probably find you a Pedi Cardiologist too, if you ask.  Best of luck !!
