Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for lung related diseases for his chest pain because his chest x ray is normal.
He is 70 years old and at this age, we must rule out heart diseases first for his chest pain.
Heart diseases like heart failure, coronary artery disease (CAD) can cause chest pain.
So consult cardiologist and get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo
3. Stress test (trade mill test)
4. Coronary angiography (if required).
He may need cardiac supportive drugs.
Don't worry, he will be alright but first rule out heart diseases in his case.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
