Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more likely.
But better to get done 2d echo and stress test first.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in his life and start working on its solution.
He may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
Tell him to avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
