Brief Answer:
We can't just ignore any chest discomfort at this age
Detailed Answer:
Hello
After going through the medical details provided by you of your father I understand your concern and I would like to tell keeping into consideration the age and other comorbidities like Diabetes and Hypertension any kind of chest discomfort should not be ignored and should be evaluated. Although it can be due gastritis due to irregular eating habits but cardiac cause should be ruled out.
It's advisable that you should personally consult a cardiologist and get one ecg and Echocardiography done
I hope this information will guide you properly.
