Six year old having chest pain, but diagnosed as acid reflux..

by FlossyMae, Jan 04, 2009 09:57AM
I have a six year old sister who was diagnosed with Acid reflux about a year ago because she was having chest pains.. She has been on medication for it since then.  She says her chest hurts and she points to the center of her chest.. The pains only last about a minute every time.. and can come every day or once a month..or she could have more than one a day.. The pains come on spontaneously.. and like i said only last about a minute or less.
She has been to a cardiologist and he referred her to a Gastroenterologist who diagnosed her with acid reflux.. Whenever she has the pains we check her blood pressure and heart rate..  the last time she had one it was 117/89 and her heart rate was 79...
