What Causes Chest Pain During Running?

My seven year old son says he gets pain in his shoulder/chest area when he runs. Is this like a side ache or should I be more concerned about it? It seems to occur quite a bit not everytime but often enough that we are aware of it. He will tell us when it happens.

* First of all query is not clear for the site of pain - chest / shoulder area
both are different & has to be evaluated in their own terms .

- It seems non significant till this narration , should consult with more
details as
* type of pain , severity , frequency , exact site, radiation anywhere
* pain restrict his play / running , he has to sit suddenly
* associated sweating / change in color of face / limbs +/- temperature
difference any noted
* aggravating factors like if runs with empty stomach more or so
* any childhood significant history like breath holding / blue baby episodes
* birth at full term or premature
* development grading as full normal or delayed milestones
* any previous consultation / work up in relation with this complain
