Chest, neck, and throat pain associated with even mild activity could be a sign of a heart problem like angina, which could eventually result in a heart attack. He needs to be seen promptly and have an EKG and stress test to rule this out. High uric acids levels or gout have been associated with ischemic heart disease (blocked blood vessels to the heart decreasing blood flow). Encourage him to get to his doctor soon. Hope this answers your query.
