Cheyenne Floyd is sharing her concerns with her co-parents.
In an exclusive clip from this week’s episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, the mom of two is cheering on daughter Ryder, 7, during her soccer game. Just as Ryder’s dad, Cory Wharton, and his girlfriend, Taylor Selfridge, arrive with daughters Maya Grace, 2½, and Mila Mae, 4½, Ryder runs off the field in tears.
Running into Cheyenne’s arms, a visibly upset Ryder tells her mom, “I just can’t do this anymore.”
“What is wrong?” Cheyenne asks.
“My heart,” Ryder says, pointing to where her chest hurts.
Cheyenne tells Cory and Taylor that Ryder says her heart is hurting. Cory suggests she sit down to take a break.

The three co-parents then take a walk to discuss the latest on Ryder’s health.
“The second she feels like something is off, she has like a panic attack,” Cheyenne explains, to which Cory agrees.
“The doctor was like, ‘She could have three things. She could have heart arrhythmias. She could have bad anxiety, or she could have racing heart,’ ” the frustrated mom continues.
Taylor points out, “Here’s the thing, all of those go hand in hand. If you have anxiety, your heart races and your heart flutters.”
Cheyenne agrees and shares her frustration that they haven’t gotten results from Ryder’s heart monitor.
“She’s only 7, and she’s so hypersensitive. But at this point, I’m like, we still don’t have the results from the heart monitor. What are we supposed to do?”
The concerned co-parents are determined to figure it out together, but it weighs on them.
In a previous episode of the reality series, a cardiologist had the little girl wear a cardiac monitor for two weeks to find out what they could determine from her cardiac activity.
Shortly after birth, Ryder was diagnosed with very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCAD). Now that she’s getting older, Cheyenne has shared concerns that her daughter has “been complaining about her chest.”
Teen Mom: The Next Chapter airs on Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.
