Why Does Child Complains Of Frequent Chest And Leg Pain?
My 6 year old daughter complains of chest pain and leg pain often. The chest pain ushually occurs after she has been running and the leg pains occur all throughout the day and the doctor keeps saying that is just growing pains, without checking anything, but they have been happening for over a year now

Hello. I just read through your question.
I agree with your doctor that the leg pains are most likely due to growing pains. However, I believe the chest pain might be occurring because of bronchospasm, similar to asthma, where the lungs are unable to expand fully to accept oxygen. I recommend raising this topic with your doctor.
