Hi There

After going through your query I understand your concern for your daughter.

I would like to tell you that the most common cause of chest pain in children is chostochonderitis that is inflammation of joint between breastbone & ribs. It happens generally in viral illness or frequent coughing.

It's advisable for you to personally consult a pediatrician and get her evaluation done. Also get her ECG and Echocardiography to rule out if any structural heart disease is present as she has strong cardiac family history.

Hopefully this has answered your query.

Kind Regards
Dr Navneet Mahajan
