My husband seems to think that our 6 month old son has an unusually high heartbeat. What should his BPM be for his age? Is there a way I can measure it properly myself? We had no family history of heart problems until this year. My dad died suddenly from a heart attack when I was 30 weeks pregnant and when my son was around 7 weeks old I'd had a resting heartbeat of 124bpm and was told I could have had a heart attack at any moment. Thanks for your help. x
