Just because there is no family history of heart disease it doesnt mean that he cant get it.  Sounds like he needs to book a doctors appt for a check up as soon as possible, to make sure he hasnt got a problem.  It might be nothing to worry about, but youll feel better if you know.

If you are really worried, its justifiable to go to an emergency department - e.g  if the pain radiates to his jaw or down an arm, or if he gets short of breath.  I am not a doctor, this is only my opinion, not medical advice.
