Dear
Welcome to HCM

I went through your details. I am sorry to say, your grandson do not need any medical treatment, but needs corrective behavior. I suggest you to consult a psychologist who can provide your grandson with values and health counseling. As far as heart burn is concerned, physical exercises and right food will be enough.
