Suggest Remedy For Heart Ailments
9yr old daughter's heart is racing, pounding. She is complaining of pressure on middle of chest. She says it feels like someone is pushing on her chest. Is it just an anxiety attack or should I take her to the dr immediately? This is the second time in the last 24 hrs. She said it happened for the first time in middle of night last night.

Hi,
Just check her pulse and count it for a minutes. If it is not a irregular and between 70-110 per minutes there is no need for refering to the hospital immediately. Anyway if her complaints continue, take am appointment to see her doctor.
Take care
Come back if you have any further questions
