Symptom checker
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please book an appointment with us. Symptoms can vary from person to person and from condition to condition.A proper diagnosis can only be made through a thorough medical examination.
Our clinicians will carry out a full assessment to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.
Does your child experience chest pain or discomfort?
Chest pain in a child can sometimes relate to heart rhythm or electrical activity issues. A paediatric ECG records the heart’s electrical signals to help assess whether symptoms are linked to a cardiac cause.
Is your child having palpitations or irregular heartbeat?
Fluttering, skipping or racing heartbeats may indicate rhythm abnormalities. A paediatric ECG detects these patterns and guides further evaluation.
Has your child felt dizzy, fainted, or had near‑fainting episodes?
Dizziness or fainting can sometimes be caused by heart rhythm changes. ECG testing helps check if the electrical activity of the heart is contributing to symptoms.
Is your child unusually tired or short of breath during activity?
Persistent fatigue or breathlessness on exertion might be linked to an underlying heart issue. A paediatric ECG assesses the heart rhythm and function to investigate these signs.
Does your child have a murmur or abnormal heart findings on exam?
If a clinician hears an abnormal heartbeat or murmur, an ECG can help clarify whether the rhythm or electrical activity needs further investigation.
Is an ECG required before surgery, anaesthesia or sports participation?
Pre‑procedure or pre‑sports screening ECGs provide reassurance about heart rhythm and function before exposing the child to stressors like anaesthesia or competitive athletics.
