Dear, this is the classical explanation of angina that means pain due to heart. He might be having a heart attack, so he must immediately be taken to Emergency room and evaluated by taking EKG. In the meantime while shifting, he must be given aspirin and morphine if he is in agony.
Rest of the management depends on the EKG findings.
All the best.
