Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my 17 year old daughter is complaining that her chest feels like sharp pain and she hasn t slept well the last few nights. She recently has a lot going on in her life with work and her sport. She has had a panic attack before. is there a way to know if it s anxiety or her heart?
After going through the medical details I understand your concern for your daughter’s health and I would like to tell you that most common reason for chest pain or palpitations in children is stresses, anxiety like you said she is facing stress in work and her sports. But even then cardiac evaluation is required to exclude any underlying cardiac disease.

What Causes Chest Pain At Night?
Hello, After going through the medical details I understand your concern for your daughter’s health and I would like to tell you that most common reason for chest pain or palpitations in children is stresses, anxiety like you said she is facing stress in work and her sports. But even then cardiac evaluation is required to exclude any underlying cardiac disease. Kindly get an ECG and Echocardiography done to evaluate if any heart disease is underlying and consult with a psychologist for counselling if she is too much stressed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Bhanu Partap
