Tachycardia

So that's normal for you which is fine but when a kid that comes up to me saying his heart is fast and he has never had anything like this happen to him, I feel like something else is going on rather then just a fast heart rate from swimming.

It sounds like you are overreacting because the patient was a child. It is not uncommon, especially with new providers, to have an emotional response on calls with children and tend to have the "something has to be wrong, I have to do something to fix it" mentality when that may not be the case.

Hey, the OP might have overreacted but did right in one way - was unsure so called for more experienced help. That is a positive.

Definitely overreacting to a child I think.
