My son is having a sharp pain in his left side in his rib cage area. he is 12 yrs old and has had heart surgery when he was 2 wks old. he says when he has the pain he has a stinging feeling go through his left arm also. what could be the cause of such pain?
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern for your son, you have not mentioned for what the boy went through the cardiac surgery in past, moreover the history given here is so inadequate so in my opinion its better to see the cardiologist as the boy has a history of some kind of cardiac disease, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
