Hi dear..
All chest pain are not due to heart disease.often acid peptic diseases cause severe chest pain.
But he need evaluation to rule out heart diseases. A base line ECG and chest xray may give some clue. Sometimes he may require further investigation like stress testing ( TMT etc.)
So consult a cardiologist.
Thank you
