Brief Answer:
Probably normal /

Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Most likely not related to heart
Hear pain is generally on the left, but all left sided pain is not from the heart
You have not said of any characteristics of the pain – pain from the heart is oppressing, in central chest (and left), worse on effort, relieved by rest, may radiate to shoulders and arms, associated with sweating and so on.

Probably chest wall muscle pain
Appropriate treatment demands accurate diagnosis
Diagnosis demands examination; probably investigation too
The wise course will be to GET him EXAMINED for proper assessment and assistance

Good luck
God bless you
