Hi.
Thank you for your Question.

Let me ensure you that your husband is fine and you need not to worry.

Chest pain caused to your husband can be due to several causes like Gastritis,Pleuritis,Gestro esophageal reflux,Angina,etc.We need to rule out these conditions first before moving to the proper treatment.

I will advice you certain investigations :
Chest Xray
Routine Blood Examination
S.Amylase and Lipase.

For relief of symptoms i will advice you following:
Antacids or Proton Pump Inhibitors
Analgesics.
Avoid Spicy food
Avoid heavy work
Stop Drinking Alcohol and Smoking if he takes.
Consult your doctor immediately incase new symptoms develop or pain doesn't subside.

Hope i answered your Questions.

Wishing you and your family a healthy life.
