What Causes Excessive Thirst And Chest Pain In A Child?
My 6 year old daughter was in mid conversation when her eyes welled up with tears and she grabbed the center of her chest. Pain only lasted seconds but scared the heck out of me. Just before that happned she had said how thirsty she was in the night. Any coorelation to the two? And what could possible cause that type of pain?

Hi dear, there seems no correlation of thirst and chest pain. She gets thirsty at night, keep a bottle of water with her and keep a watch if any other complain she makes. Does she has any other complain with thirst? In such a case she needs an evaluation by a pediatrician at least once.
For the chest pain, at times a bolus of air trapped in esophagus or respiratory tract may cause a sharp pain, this is a transient phenomena, may happen with any one.
But keep a watch for any associated symptom/s then consult a pediatrician.
