What Causes Severe Chest Discomfort After Physical Activity In A Child?
My 8 year old son was at lacrosse tryouts and after running a couple of laps he said all of a sudden his chest felt like someone was punching it. He said it was a constant feeling for about a half an hour although it got worse each time they had to take a lap. he said he felt fine the last half of the practice.
