Is It To Concerned About The Pain The Chest Around The Heart?
My 19 y.o. son has pain around his heart and it hurts when he swallows. His lungs are clear, x-rays are negative. He has a slight cough and his voice sounds raspy. No fever, so sore throat. He's in the Air Force, the doctor told him he was fine, but the pain continues.

Hello ,
What you describe can occur in Gastroesophageal reflux with associated Hiatus hernia , where the stomach alignment is not proper resulting in reflux of stomach acid in the food pipe .
If heart is ruled out , the above should be kept as a possibility.
