What Causes Dizziness And Chest Pain In A 13 Year Old?
My 13 year old daughter has been having chest pains, dizzieness, tired all of the time. It wakes her rom her sleep sometimes and she will get super sweaty and clammy feeling and just start sweating randomly too. She experiences this at random intervals and has had some of the sypmtoms for a while bit they seem to be getting worse and the chest pain (primarily on the left) is new in the past couple weeks. She is a competitive cheerleader and is a fit, good weight eats healthy...she was thought to have had a gallbladder attack a month ago but now we are just starting with a gi speccialist at childrens hospital for the burn and gall bladder aspects of her pain but the other symptoms are getting worse and lime I said the chest pain is new...is it possible she is having a heart attack?

according to the above description she is less likely to have a heart attack , and more likely to have a panic attacks
what is needed now is to be checked by her pediatrician to run some tests like complete blood counts to role out anemia , thyroid function test , and an ECG just to make sure there is no organic cause for these symptoms
I hope this helps
