Specializes in Pediatrics

Could be serious: Chest pain with difficulty breathing and tachycardia could be a sign of something serious. You should call your dr and make an appt to be seen ASAP. They can do a thorough exam and EKG to check your heart and determine if there is an arrhythmia, or other problem.
