Such young age it's not gas the problem.
If stomach is at fault a upper GI endoscopy would be good as hiatus hernia a with reflux may present similarly
If the symptoms occurs everyday and holter monitoring during the episode is normal, nit to worry about heart. However if we don't have a ecg tracing during episode, a event recorder would be ideal..
Also anxiety may cause increased perception of normal heart beats, I suggest you to help him tone the anxiety part by reassuring.
Hoping I could help. Any further assistance you may contact me through HCM via Http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-priyank-mody/70273
