    Well, my son was tested and his triglicerods are high. He weights 90 pounds. Will that cause him to say his heart hurts?

    Cripes... thats a BIG kid at 6 years old. He's probably winded being that much overweight... and that would be a chest pain that could be described by a kid as that.

    Actually, regardless of the obvious weight issues, a 6 year old describing his 'heart hurts' I first thought of heart burn, given that if he is this large, and has no other medical issues, I would assume his diet is terrible.


    However, ANYTIME a child says he hurts, the doctor needs to know. Take your son to the doctor about this. It may be heartburn. It may be something more serious.
