Hello,

I understand your concern and would explain that your son's symptoms do not seem to be related to the heart.

A musculoskeletal pain seems to be the main cause underlying his complaints. Gastro-esophageal reflux cannot be excluded either, although sharp chest pain is not typical of this disorder.

For this reason, I recommend performing a chest X-ray study, complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation and a resting ECG.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
