Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Your son may have GERD (acid reflux) causing indigestion and chest pain.

If you were my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations to find out what is causing his symptoms:
- Blood work
- Ecg
- Cardiac echo
- Stress test
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Upper endoscopy

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
