I'm 13.
My dad just came upstairs and said he had pain in his back, his chest and his shoulders.. he's gone to the hospital now.
But I'm really scared for some reason..
Will he be okay:( I know there's no way you guys can know that.. but what could it be? Something he hate? He only had soup. I know they won't be back till morning.. it's already 1:26AM.. :( Any similar things happen to anyone? I'm seriously so scared..

Welcome to the real world, you are just experiencing a situation that demands you to stay calm and brave. There will be man more such situations if you aren't brave about it. If you are brave, such situations aren't a challenge. Your choice but it would be wise to give this worry to God because there really is nothing else you can do about it.

What I've experienced with family members that had heart problems was they usually complained of pain radiating across their chest and down their arms. Also the feeling of weight on their chest (like someone was standing on it), trouble catching their breath. It sounds like it's more likely GIRD (gastrointestinal reflux disease) which can cause severe indigestion, heart burn, etc. which can cause the symptoms your father had. If it is GIRD then anything high in acid like tomato soup should be avoided. Call the hospital ER and ask to speak your mother or have the nurse give her a message to call you.

I know nothing about medicine, but I think the fact that the pain was in his back shoulders and chest is maybe a good sign. If it was just chest pain, then that could be a serious issue, but it is basically his entire upper body. At least he's at the hospital, and they take EVERYTHING into precaution (for risk of getting sued). So at least he's in good hands.

Does your mom have a cell phone? You might try calling her to find out what's going on! If she doesn't call the hospital ER and ask to get a message to your mom to call you!
It is possible it is just indigestion! I know you are scared, and I'm sure you are thinking it is his heart. But there are other things that can cause that pain, even a gall bladder attack.
I hope this helps.

the chest pain could just be acid reflux u can get that from soup and the shoulder and back pain can be from work if he does any sort of heavy lifting but im not sure did he say what type of pain was it and how old is he?

your dad is in the best place he can be right now -- the hospital with doctors trying to figure out what is wrong with him.
be thankful he went to the hospital instead of just staying home. his trip to the hospital could save his life!
have a nice christmas...xo
