Does A Hit On The Head Lead To Chest Pain?

My uncle experienced numbness in both arms and on the left side of his face. He also had pains in his chest. He was taken to the hospital where they ruled out heart attack. Earlier in the day, he smacked his head really hard on his car when he bent in and went to stand back up. He got a really bad headache from it which for him is odd because he never gets headaches. The doctors weren t concerned about it being a concussion and told him to have a stress test done with his regular doctor. Could this all be from him hitting his head?

Hello--yes, all this could have been from the blow to his head and I'm surprised the ER doctor didn't get an MRI scan of his brain to make sure there wasn't any bleeding there
