Why my 3 year old's heart is paining?
Patient: My 3 yr old had an asd closure with an amplatzer occluder 2 months ago. Today she told me her heart hurt. Then a few minutes later told her dad she felt fine. Can she be feeling pain from this or should i be worried and call her cardiologist. He is 4 hrs away from us... Doctor: Hi...I suggest you call on her cardiologist. As it is only 2 months down the line after the procedure, it is better to have a cardiologist have a look at her. Another important thing - do not wait till 4 hours, as of now - consult your local physician and get her vitals checked before you start to the cardiologist so that you can be rest assured.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
