Suggest Treatment For Headache And Shortness Of Breath

My 10.5 years old boy has been complaining since a year from pain in his right side of the head when he hits a ball with head or sometimes when he hits his head while sitting in the sofa he says that pain fades under the eyes. Recently since a month he started to complain from difficulty in breathing but the doctor said it is 100 % phsycological. He is atheletic . He is practicing swimming n running since he was 4 years old.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Does your son hit soccer balls with his head? If so, he could be getting a low grade chronic concussion. His symptoms do not sound psychological. His breathing may be due to exercise induced bronchospasm or stress but his head symptoms warrant investigation.
