nose bleeds when playing

[~RENEE~]

I have noticed here lately when my boy Cecil age 4 gets really gets going his nose will bleed. Not just drip actually bleed. He has Tetalogy of Fallot.

Worried mommy needs to know for sure if I need an emergency appointment to his cardiologist or not.

This just recently started.

He's had a BT Shunt and an open heart as well (norwood procedure)

If this could be connected to his heart and I need to rush him in to the card please let me know if not please let me know.

He has a card appointment the end of June.

It's really concerning me since it seems to get bad when he is extremely active.

Hi Renee,

I apologise for this delayed message, i just joined today and it seemed taht no one else answered you. I am a pharmacist by trade but not familiar with the tetalogy of Fallot or its heart ramifications. I also am not aware of teh cardiologist bookings in the US, compared to Aust. However, if this bleeding is something new, it may be wise to show him to a doctor to investigate. It doesn;t have to be his cardiologist, a general practitioner may be enough to start with. God bless.
