Hi, my 14 yr old son has been have some occasional chest discomfort around his diaphragm area. He is not obese 5'4" 120lb. If the weather is hot he has shortness of breath. He has just started puberty this year. Tylenol and Motrin take care of the discomfort. Could he have a heart condition?

Hey there,
Mostly its puberty effect.
Still go for EKG and chest x-ray and rule out other causes related to lung and heart.
