Concerned about daughter *in A&E*

Really worried about daughter.

She’s 15 for context. Woke me up about 2am- excruciating pain in middle of chest- really tearful saying her chest hurts more when she lays down or tries to take a deep breath. Gave OTC painkillers- tried distraction etc. Sat downstairs to see if painkillers helped. They didn’t. At 4am I brought her to A&E as she was beside herself in pain.
Triaged in Peads V quickly, ECG fine. Obs normal. Awaiting X-ray but I’ve asked if this could be linked to starting contraceptive pill a month ago (progesterone only). Doctor has pulled a face and he’s said it’s unlikely. No blood tests at this point, I’m worried that she potentially has a blood clot due to pain and where it is. I’m not great at being strong and firm but feel like this X-ray will come back clear and we will be sent home with muscular pain!l

Should I push further?

@cannockcandy marfanoid habitus is literally part of the diagnostic criteria for EDS whereas ND conditions are still at the investigative studies stage. Your personal experience of being short is not relevant here.
