Hello,
I think you should send him to ER because the symptoms of chest pain he is having may be related to angina and it may lead to infarction. He needs to do an ECG and echocardiogram to get evaluated. Send him for evaluation as soon as possible because you will prevent complications.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
