Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should definitely rule out cardiac chest pain first.
So get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
He is also having stressful life. Stress can also cause similar kind of chest pain.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. He may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, he will be alright. Tell him to avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your boyfriend. Thanks.
