Your son is getting older so you will notice changing sleep patterns compared to a few months ago. He has also learned that if he yells he gets attention. At this age he needs a short nap after breakfast - wake or get him after about 40 minutes. Then after lunch 2 hours. If he gets less than one hour sleep at this time, give him another short nap at about 5 o'clock. Use blackout curtains. If he yells, go in, say firmly that it is time for sleep and then silently put him down in his bed again. If you need to repeat this, do it in silence. My oldest daughter's record was getting up 17 times in one evening at 15 months - she could climb out of her cot. This silent treatment and a darkened room worked for us after 3 nights. This is obviously causing you stress. So I suggest you share your concerns with someone.
