What causes squeezing pain in heart?
Patient: 11 year old girl complaining of squeezing pain in her heart on and off for the past 5 days. Doctor seen her on day 2 - examined her and she had an ECG but could find nothing. Previously had heart scan few months ago as complaining of thumping sensation in her heart. These episodes had been going on a couple of years but they would only last a minute or so and there would be no pain. Now this squeezing sensation has caused her to cry because of the pain. Should I be happy with the family doctor s diagnosis or should I seek further help? Doctor: you must do echocardiogram as ecg is not diagnostic test for and may do cbc for anemia until that keep eating soft food and rest
