Suggest Treatment For Heart Pain In A Child
My 6 year old son recently complained that his heart hurts when he runs (like in the playground or in gym). He says that it stops hurting when he stops running. He has no fever but has seemed a bit more tired than usual over the past few days. Should I be concerned?
