What Causes Pain And Tightness In The Heart?
My 6 year old daughter complains that her heart hurts like someone is sticking with something sharp... and she says she feels like someone is sittin on her chest. This happens every once in a while and lasts about a week. Should I go see her pediatrician or a pulmonologist? My other 2 daughers have mild asthma. ALSO, thinking it could be asthma related I gave her xoepenx in the nebulizer yesterday and she said it didn t help.

Hello,
I suggest you to see her pediatrician and he will recommend you what to do. I think you should do your daughter a chest x-ray, cardiac sonography and to see also if possible gastroesophageal reflux is possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
