Your son's condition is called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a congenital disorder with potential serious consequences including sudden death.  You are right to restrict his physical activities until he is seen by a cardiologist.  You also will need to keep a close watch on him as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation have been known to occur even in the absence of activity.
