Doctor's advice:
- "Chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, fainting, and headaches can often be signs of serious illness. In the age of computerization and children's fascination with sedentary activities, the issue of physical inactivity and physical development disorders arises. Therefore, it is important to diagnose disorders in a timely manner, prescribe the correct examination and treatment, and ultimately prevent serious consequences in adulthood. Children should lead an active lifestyle, move more and have positive emotions. Do not self-medicate and seek medical advice in a timely manner."
