What Causes Chest Pains After Exertion?
My son (18) recently started having chest pains in the heart area which he noticed the first time when he was in Basketball practice about a week or two ago, He was sent to the college physician who said he could not find anything wrong. No EKG was taken. His father and I have a large families, but only one of my uncles has had a history in heart problems. Should my son just "keep an eye on it" as the college physician recommended or should he visit with a cardiologist before he has symptoms again?
