Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
I would strongly suggest you contact your doctor or pediatrician and discuss your son's symptoms.
I am not a medical professional and would not be able to offer you medical advice, however, there could be a physical reason your son is feeling this way. Your doctor would be better able to determine if your son requires additional testing or medical care.
