What Causes Sudden Chest Pain And Shortness Of Breath For My 9-year-old?
This morning, my 9 year old son began experiencing sudden chest pain and shortness of breath. I had EMT s check him and his BP was 146/85 and his pulse was 81. I took him to his pediatrician and everything was back to normal and she detected nothing unusual in her exam. She said to watch him and if this happens again, she would make an appointment for him with a cardiologist. I am trying to reassure my husband that this is standard protocol. Would you agree? Thank you!
