my 4 year old heart rate I was told should not go really below 60bpm while asleep
michelle
can I ask was there anything that happened taht made you check. like did he have any symptoms of anything.
My son's heart rate while sleeping had gone down to 48. they say that if they aren't symptomatic of anything like dizziness or passing out then they don't worry. I mean my little man's heart rate just sitting has gone over 181-200. and he is in normal sinus rythm. now we had an episode hwere his hr went from 110 down to 48 when he was a wake they asked me several question and tey said that since he passed out he just bought himself a pace maker if he didn't pass out then they would not worry about it.
I guess what I am saying is if your little bundle of joy is not syptomatic of anyhting then it is proablly okay.
my little man has other issues.
I agree it wouldn't hurt to get it checked out just to make sure.
and one last thing ALWAYS ALWAYS go with oyur gut instinct. most of the time a parent's gut insticnt is right.
good luck
michelle
