Tachycardia (an abnormally fast heart rate) is a common symptom of congestive heart failure in children. Weight loss is not typically a symptom of CHF in children, and in fact, they may experience weight gain due to fluid retention. Increased blood pressure may also occur, but it is not a primary symptom of CHF. Bradycardia (an abnormally slow heart rate) is not a typical symptom of CHF in children.
