Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Chest Pain And Tightness To A 9 Year Old?
My 9 yo daughter has complained of pain in her chest (center ribs) and tightness. She has trouble breathing. Not really labored just hard to breath. sounds more like anxiety but I don't know if I should get her into the doctor sooner rather than later. she did recently get over strep with no problems.
Hello. Thank you for your question. Those these symptoms could very well be attributed to anxiety, it would be wise to make sure nothing else is going on in her lungs that might require treatment, ie: asthma. I recommend consulting with your doctor so her lungs can be examined and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.
