Christopher Snyder's Expert Contributions
Can caffeine mess up your heart?
Too much of it certainly can. No one is sure how much is too much, but much more than a few cups of coffee a day is probably not good. READ MORE
Does having diabetes affect your heart function or no?
Yes. It can affect your blood vessels/coronary arteries and your cholesterol. You need to manage your blood sugars really well. READ MORE
Can covid cause chest pain in children?
It can. Coughing can cause it. Under very rare circumstances, it may be the heart. READ MORE
How can I fix my irregular heartbeat without medications?
It depends on the cause. If anxiety is the reason, then yes (less caffeine, stress). If you have a true heart rhythm disorder, often these start with particular activities, and you could avoid doing those, but those would be rare. READ MORE
How do you care for a baby with a heart murmur?
Great question. As a pediatric cardiologist, we examine the patient. Most murmurs in babies are what we call functional murmurs or normal noises of the blood flowing through the heart and there is nothing that needs to be done. If we detect a murmur that we believe there is heart disease associated with it, we order an ECG/chest X-ray and often an echocardiogram. READ MORE
What causes heart arrhythmia in a baby?
A number of things. They may have an extra piece of conduction tissue in their heart, it could be caused by irritation to a particular part of the heart or really rare things like tumors. READ MORE
What causes children to have a heart murmur?
Often, these are normal noises. The sound of blood flowing through the heart. If the child has something wrong with their heart (a hole or leaky/stenotic valve), blood flowing through that hole/valve can also cause them. READ MORE
How long does chest pain normally last?
This depends on what causes your chest pain. Chest pain related to the heart in someone your age is pretty rare. I would suggest you see your primary care physician. READ MORE
How do you prepare for a heart ablation?
Great question. Whoever is doing the ablation should provide you with instructions. Most places would have you not eat or drink for 12 hours prior. If you are on meds, talk with the team about when they want you to stop them. READ MORE
Is there an age limit for heart bypass surgery?
Nope. This is a common procedure performed on babies on the day they are born and on older adults in the 90's. READ MORE
Can children have congenital heart disease?
Of course. The name "congenital" means they are born with it. READ MORE
Raspy feeling?
I would bring this up with your primary care doctor and your psychologist. There is something that causes this and it may be anxiety or something in your chest. READ MORE
How serious is a chest pain?
It depends on when it occurs, where it is, and how long it lasts. Talk to your primary care doctor. READ MORE
Why does my 8 year old have chest pain?

How long does chest pain usually last in children?
It depends on the cause. Not sure if you mean how many years will she have it or how long each episode will last. I would recommend seeing your pmd. READ MORE
Should I take my child to the hospital after having chest pain?
Call her pmd and make an appointment. The reasons for chest pain are very different in kids than adults. READ MORE
What is the fastest way to lower diastolic blood pressure?
There really isn't a way to do this quickly. Need to find out the cause. READ MORE
When should I worry about my child's chest tightness?
This is abnormal. I would take them to your primary care doctor and discuss the complaint with them. There are a lot of things that can cause this. READ MORE
What vitamins help tachycardia?
None that I know of. READ MORE
Can a child go to school with heart palpitations?
Of course. I would suggest seeing your pmd or a pediatric cardiologist, but school is very important. READ MORE
