Hi. My ten year old daughter was diagnosed with acid reflex & asthma. She is on albuterol, flovent, nasonex &lansoprazole. She was having severe chest/side pain episodes. X-ray was normal. She recently had another episode, became pale and vomited from the pain. Her meds didn t work. She usually feels better in 24-48 hours. During that time the chest pain slowly subsides. She is a travel soccer player and the episodes are not exercised induced. She does mouth breathe at night especially after a cold when she seems to have a post nasal drip. She feels most comfortable sleeping with 3 pillows. We are seeing a pulmonolist & gastroenterologist and still haven t found the cause of her monthly chest pain. Any advice?
Howell come to ChatDoctorLooking to the age chances of acid peptic disease would be less likely and in my opinion this need to be ruled for other causes like cardiac cause and this need to be ruled out and for that better to get done EKG and ECHO, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
