What Causes Chest Pain While Lying Down?
My 9 year old daughter has been complaining of chest pain-worse when she lays down. It s been off and on for a year now. It goes away for months then returns. This time it s been off and on for a week now and she cannot sleep at night because it hurts her when she lays down. She s had ultrasounds, X-rays, ECG tests and they all show nothing. She s very active in playing hockey and does handstands and cartwheels lots. Tylenol only takes the edge off and masks it temporarily. I don t know what to do

Hello,
Because of the nature of the pain, worse in certain position and also because all the tests come out normal very likely your daughter is having a muscular pain.
To help with it paracetamol and ibuprofen can be tried and also a physiotherapist would help in the long run to give her specific exercises that will help with the muscles in her case.
I hope I have answered to your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
