Brief Answer:
please get his exercise stress test done
Detailed Answer:
hello,
I have gone through your reply.
I suggest that he should get his exercise Stress test done .If that is normal then I would suggest no medications right now and he must focus on diet and exercise.His Uric acid level is mildly elevated which would need restriction of pulses in food.
My best wishes
