Personal
Discomfort and symptoms in children always cause anxiety and worry in their parents. Many times the discomfort is wide-ranging and complex, the symptoms are not unambiguous, and the parent is not sure whom to contact. Sometimes all they need is an explanation and reassurance, other times the need help in looking for a specialist. I can help them.
In more than half of the children discomfort and symptoms regarding their heart do not necessarily indicate a heart problem, but it is very important to exclude the diseases. Although the child is not in a heavy state, many times not even complaining, that does not exclude the possibility of a serious heart condition – luckily, this does not happen too often.
