Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
At the age of 16 years, these symptoms (headache, palpitations, chest pain) are more suggestive stress and anxiety.
But better to first rule out heart diseases.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
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.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your brother. Thanks.
