Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Better to first rule out heart diseases for his chest pain.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both are normal than no need to worry for heart diseases.
If he is having stress than this can be the reason for his central chest pain.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling 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.. Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your son.
Thanks.
