What is the normal heart rate for a 5-year-old child?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. Could you please tell me what the normal heart rate for a 5-year-old child is?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally speaking, a normal heart rate for a 5-year-old child is 80-100 beats per minute, and the heart rate is the same as the pulse rate. If it exceeds this range, it may be due to stimulating factors or adverse reactions caused by physiological indicators. It is necessary to check promptly to identify the primary cause and actively treat the symptoms. Children's bodies have weaker resistance, so they are prone to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, do not panic and should take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Also, pay attention to regular check-ups for the child and use medication reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
