I've been noticing this strange sensation in my chest. It's not painful, more like a tender or weird feeling. My heart's fine as far as I know, but I'm not sure what's going on. Could it be something else in the chest area? It's starting to worry me a bit. Any idea what this could be?

Given your young age and lack of cardiac symptoms, it is most probably case of heartburn, or acute gastritis. Try to avoid hot, spicy and acidic foods for a few days, opt for a blander softer and blander diet. Avoid smoking if you are a smoker, and increase green leafy vegetables in your diet. You can take pantoprazole + domperidone capsules (Pan-D capsules) for a few days to help you with your heartburn. Drink plenty of water and stretch your muscles regularly.

Could a heart hole that my cousin had as a baby still be an issue now that he's 14 years old? Should we be worried about any lingering effects, or is it likely that it closed up on its own over time?

It is possible that your cousin still has a heart hole, also known as a congenital heart defect. To determine if the hole is still present, he would need to undergo medical evaluation, which may include imaging tests such as an echocardiogram. Treatment options for a heart hole may include medications such as aspirin or blood thinners, and in some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary. It is important for your cousin to follow up with a cardiologist for further assessment and management.
