What Causes Heart Pain/murmur In A Child?
Hi, my 7 yr of daughter often complains of throwing up in her mouth. She has been complaining a lot about having heart pain. (She was seen by cardio 2 yrs ago because she was having these heart pains and has a heart murmur. They said it was innocent and nothing to worried about) the heart pains slowed and she stoped complaining about it, but has started complaining again. She mentions it at least 3x a day if not more. Just wondering if we should go back to the cardiologist or if it could be acid reflux.

Hi...the symptoms of throwing up in her mouth and the chest pain or retro-sternal pain she is having are called water brash in medical terms. You are right in suspecting it could be acid reflux. This is GER - Gastroesophageal reflux. if it is really disturbing her daily activities I suggest you consult your pediatrician.
