i have a 13 yr.old son that complains of something in his chest feels like its moving around it happens when he bends over, lies down, and during jumping jacks during football practice. Its a sharp pain located in the center of his chest what could this be?
Hello, I understand your concern and would explain that your sons symptoms do not seem to be related to the heart.  A musculoskeletal pain seems to be the main cause underlying his complaints. Gastroesophageal 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.
