What Could Explain Severe Pain Around Diaphragm?

My son, age 11, otherwise healthy doing sports all year round (football, hockey) get severe pain around diaphragm, concentrated at center, when jumping on a trampoolin. This pain is only related to this activity and he has never experienced it during other activities. After 5-15 min relaxing, the pain levels off but starts immediately when trampoolin-jumping. What is this due to?

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
thanks for your question

it can be due to
-gastritis
-hiatus
least possibility of any cardiac or lung ailments

you need to consult a physician who can request for a chest X-ray , ecg , ct scan and endoscopy if needed which ll lead to a certain diagnosis

in my patients I usually start them on proton pump inhibitors and evaluate them

thanks
