Same thing happened to me around his age. My mom freaked out. Took me to UAB and had a ton of test ran. Found nothing. But the problems never went away. 15 years later, found out my body has a hard time with carbs, sugar, and the whole gluten thing. Bottom line, no reason to worry. Could be as simple as a change of diet.

My son has a condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, or WPW. It is basically an electrical abnormality in the heart that can be resolved through medication or a surgery called an "ablation". With WPW you have an extra electrical conduction pathway called an "accessory pathway" that can cause your heart to beat extremely fast.
My son had the surgery and has been doing well, ever since. He wrestles and runs distance in track, so he, too, is in excellent shape.
While this is still scary stuff for a parent, it is a very fixable condition.
