What Causes Chest Pain In A Child?
My 9 year old just came downstairs crying that his heart hurt . He said he was trying to fall asleep and he felt a pop at his heart and it hurt, although it is not still hurting now. Should I be concerned? He has complained of his heart hurting before but never mentioned the pop.

Hi...it could be mitral valve prolapse or an incidental viral illness causing pain in the musculoskeletal system of the chest. no need to worry as it is not hurting now and I suggest you consult your pediatrician and get an cardiac ECHO done. But am sure it is not something serious.
