What Causes Chest Pains, Heart Palpitations And Difficulty Breathing?
my son is 17 and he has had chest pains, trouble breathing, rapid heart beat and has passed out 3 times. Heart Dr says heart is fine could be a case of gastritis. We think thats crazy. He is on staterra and have read this could happen on that drug. The heart Dr. say's no. He is not stressed or upset and this happens when he is just sitting. Any suggestions?

Hey,
The symptoms you are telling looks of cardiac origin, but as the doctor must have looked into that aspect, it rules out the cardiac nature of symptoms.
Children of this age are a stage of transformation and are easily influenced by family and friends. The drug stattera is given for attension deficit hyperactive disorder.
I think you must continue that drug along with mental support for him. I wish him good health and good luck
