Hi,
Sometimes pain can be elevation of bp, you should reconfirm it after sometime and more importantly in both the arms. If bp is elevated then it can be reappearance if coarctation of aorta, so then you should take him to doctor. He will also do renal artery Doppler if no coarctation is found.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sagar Makode
