Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi,

The pain could be both cardiac, stomach and muscular.
Usually cardiac pain is caused by exercise, such as walking uphill, climbing stairs, it doesn't last long and usually settles down with rest. If his symptoms are consistent with the above mentioned, he needs to refer a cardiologist and undergo a full cardiac examination. if not, I would recommend undergoing at least an ECG to be in the safe side.
If it is not the cardiac origin, I would recommend him to see his GP, to do additional tests or examinations to find out if it comes from stomach, muscles or from somewhere else.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lilit Baghdasaryan, Cardiologist
