HI
this can be due to stress or really related to some cardiac problem.
if he complains of palpitations,chest pain , any shortness of breath on exertion i would suggest you to go for an ECG with a cardiac evaluation.
please check out for his haemoglobin levels, electrolytes, sugar, & thyroid
levels.
please advise him to destress himself.
if all the above tests are normal, simple anxiolytic drugs added with nonspecific beta blockers in low doses will help him out.
all the best
take care
