Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Chest pain is a manifestation of various possible underlying causes, from simple musculoskeletal conditions, lung problems, acid reflux, anxiety, or heart disease (being the most serious).
Therefore, a proper and thorough evaluation is required to elicit the right cause, including a detailed history (time of onset of pain, character/quality, radiation, frequency, severity, what improves/worsens it, does it occur at rest or with effort), a physical exam, plus/minus a heart tracing, are the minimum requirements to get to the right diagnosis and provide the correct management.
