What Causes Dull Pain In Chest And Rib Cage After Playing Foot Ball?

Most likely due to musculoskeletal cause
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I completely understand your concerns but don't worry. Most likely cause of these symptoms are musculoskeletal pain which occurs due to physical activity and trauma. These pains usually improve over a period of few days with symptomatic treatment. I recommend my patients to take acetaminophen or ibuprofen tablet for pain relief. Also, good hydration is useful.
Since there is a possibility of enlarged chamber on chest X Ray examination, I would recommend you to take him for an echocardiogram as well. This will clear all doubts regarding any heart chamber abnormalities.
Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care


Correlation of height to cardiac size unlikely
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Height is not a likely cause of heart enlargement unless and until it's due to some syndrome like Marfan's syndrome.
So, don't worry. Your son has a perfectly normal height.
