my 10 year old son complained of what he described as fluttering in his chest after football practice. he said it occurs sometimes when he is involved in strenuous exercise. i asked if it hurt and he said no..it just feels weird and almost seems to tickle. no dizziness, weakness or anything else. is this a case of him just being tired and anxious or something else?
Hi...after strenuous exercise this type of feeling is quite common but at the same time other differential diagnosis like - 1. Mitral Valve prolapse2. Aortic stenosis and 3. Sinus tachycardia should be kept in mind. I suggest you consult your pediatrician and get your son evaluated and then if nothing is found out, it is physiological, and you can be rest assured.
