Hi,
If he is having difficulty in breathing and pain in the chest and arm it may be a sign of pulmonary embolism or heart attack. It is really important that he gets an ECG done and a visit and a physical exam at the emergency department to make sure about the illness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
