Today, at school during lunch he went to the nurse with pain in his heart...nurse contacted his father and said his heart rate was 108...after sitting with the nurse it went down..He has appt with his pediatrician tomorrow for an EKG..what could be going on?

In your child's case an ekg will surely tell wether he had a heart issue or not but considering his age you need to look if he is not having spicy stuff too often as this is another scenario where many childern of young age develop gastritis in such a young age
