What Causes Chest Pain In Teenager?

My 9 year old daughter is complaining of chest pains. She says that it feels like something is stuck in her chest. She is pretty healthy although I just took her to the doctor because in the last year there has been rapid weight gain. She is 95 lbs whereas a year ago she was 68 lbs. As of yesterday she is 55 inches tall.
