What Is The Reason For Arm Pain And Chest Pain For A 14 Year Old Athlete?
My son is 14 years old. An active and athletic kid who just completed his Freshman football season. He has been complaining of intermittent and acute pain that runs down his left arm. In addition, he also states that he has had chest pain in the past, more on the right side, not at the same time as the arm pain.

Its unlikely to be any cardiac condition based on his young age.
Even then it willl require ECG and 2d echocardiography to rule out heart disease as the cause of left side pain
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
