Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain And Fast Heart Rate In A Child

My 8 year old grandson was running in the swimming pool & told me his heart hurt. I felt his chest & his heart was pounding really hard. I had him sit down for a little while & he said it was better & then said it hurt a little, but started hurting a little in the ribs & then the tummy.

Hi...if it is unaccustomed swimming or exercise then it is quite natural and normal phenomenon. But if it a regular who is getting this suddenly then it needs evaluation. Hope you understand what I am conveying.

It depends on whether it is a recurrent thing or a single episode too.
