Q: i have a 5 year old son, and he has been up late for 3 days in a row complaining of chest pain and has a rapid heartbeat.he has asthma.he is restless and wont stop moving for a second and suggestions?
I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to answer sooner. Did you get him to the doctor? While it could be reflux related, it is important when you have a new symptom especially if it's severe for it to be thoroughly checked.
It could be dangerous to assume it's one thing and treat for it and then have it be something completely different.

Sounds like its probably from the meds that have him taking. Every one of the inhalers and breathing treatments have those symptoms. Doctors like to prescribe too high of doses and tell the patients to take them too often.
