What To Do For The Difficulty In Breathing?

my daughter have been having some difficult breathing.....last time, when she was in school, she told me she had trouble breathing and her stomach started to hurt...she doesn't have asthma...and she also said that she was pale and she started to sweat a lot...she felt like she was about to faint. She had breakfast and lunch. She is eating and drinking properly. But we are kind of scared that there might be something wrong with her. Something like this happen before...when she was around 13, when she came out of the shower, she had some trouble breathing too. So please give me answer...

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since asthma has been already ruled out, she should be evaluated for valvular heart diseases (VHD).
VHDs are commonly seen with children. Recurrent unexplained breathing difficulty, fainting, paleness, sweating etc are commonly seen with VHDs.
So better to take her to cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
She may need surgical correction if VHD has been detected.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
