Brief Answer:
Chest pain

Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
Cheat pain in this age group is typically associated with spasm in the lungs, similar to what asthmatics feel. This can be treated.
I recommend having him examined by your doctor, with extra attention paid to his lungs and breathing. Then the appropriate treatment plan can be implemented.
