What Causes Total Body Pain?

My 6 year old daughter has suddenly started complaining that she gets a "beeping" pain in different parts of her body, it only last for a few minutes but she says it feels like her heart beating but slower and painful, she has it in her arm, chest, leg and back of her neck, she is active, eating and hasnt lost wait, should I take her to the GP? This has been happening randomly since the end of August. Many thanks

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.

The symptoms you quote might fit into joint pains and muscles pain of viral origin, but the thing is it won’t subside by itself like that in 1 few minutes time. Keeping in mind the age and gender of the kid, I feel you should consider conversion reaction like symptoms. But I reiterate the fact that this is a diagnosis of exclusion after ruling out all other physical diagnoses.

I am considering this diagnosis as the symptoms you quote do not fit perfectly into any known clinical syndrome. I suggest you see your paediatrician.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
