Understandably, when a child complains of chest pain, most parents worry that there is something wrong with the heart. However, chest pain and palpitations are common in growing children. Most chest pain comes from stretching or irritation of the muscles and bones in the chest. Most palpitations either represent the child’s normal heart going slightly faster than usual, or occasionally some extra heartbeats from the upper or lower chambers of the heart. Most of these pose no danger to your child. That doesn’t mean that you should ignore these symptoms. Make an appointment with your child's pediatrician. Your family doctor will be able to determine whether or not your child should visit a pediatric cardiologist for further evaluation and testing such as an electrocardiogram. Some of the factors that determine whether or not chest pains indicate an underlying problem are how frequently they occur, if they happen during exercise and if there is a family history of heart disease.
