Hi Dr. Pravin,
You have to consider the possibility that the boy is malingering or functional. But before branding the condition as functional we must exhaust all possible causes for the presenting symptoms.
Since you have ruled out cardiac pathology, it will be a good idea to rule out any neurological pathology as well. In addition I would suggest echocardiography if not already done.
