What Causes Chest Pain And Shortness Of Breath?

I have a 15 year old daughter with chest pain and shortness of breath. She occasionally has numbness in her limbs. Also, gets ear pain, fatigue, overall just not feeling well and brain fog. She has had stomach pain as well. We removed gluten from her diet and it helped with the stomach pain, but the other symptoms come and go for a year and a half now. Sometimes its severe sometimes not bad. We have been to a pediatrician several times, a family practitioner and a rhuemotologist. Her labs come back with nothing out of the ordinary. She had a clear chest xray and EKG. Her symptoms as of late especially the chest pain seem to be getting worse. We don t know what to do or who to go to next.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello Dear
I evaluated your query in depth .
@ Considering overall narrations & said reports herewith I consider this as
Psychosomatic manifestation of underlying stress or anxiety ( provided
she is not anemic and her hemoglobin is normal )
@ I require detail counselling with her history since early childhood to rule
out possibility of Post traumatic stress disorder to get the depth of the
issue & further management plan accordingly ( MRI brain if not done
advisable to rule out central focal lesion as a culprit )
@ Recommendations for you
# she requires more moral support from parents than anything else
# give her warmth , love , try to elicit to find any hidden anger / stress
inside her
# psychiatrist doctor counselling most advisable for her
Hope this will definitely help you to some extent .
Feel free to ask any further health related questions in future anytime .
Thanks for using Health care magic ,
Regards .
