What Causes Frequent Pain In The Heart?

hey, i am 13 years old, i am quite healthy, i don't smoke or do anything bad, i never have. before i was born my mum had a x ray of me, and i had a shadow over my heart, they got it tested to see if i was a downsydrome baby, i wasn't. I frequently get these horrible pains in my heart that last 10 seconds, it's a huge thump that hits my lungs, and i let out a gasp for air, i am so worried what this could be :'( Please help me, Farrah x

Hi Farrah

After going through your query I understand your concern.

I would like to tell you chest pain lasting for few seconds are not indicative of heart problems in children. It can be due to either chostochonderitis if you had recent viral illness or frequent coughing or an injury to muscles or bones of chest wall. If non of these then other causes of chest pain in children includes anxiety disorder , acid reflux disease, structural heart disease.

Kindly tell your parents and consult with a Physican for further evaluation and management.

Hope to have been helpful.

Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
