Hi,
From history it seems that he might have some vascular problem in his right arm giving rise tothis problem.
As he is heavy smoker, risk of having this vascular problem is likely.
Consult vascular surgeon and get examined.
Quit smoking as early as possible.
Ok and take care.

hello
first of all he should go for several tests like ECG , BLOOD SUGAR , BLOOD LIPID LEVEL, ALSO MEASURE HIS BLOOD PRESSURE...take him to a general physician and get his all tests done... he might have pain heart that deviates to the right arm.. also tell your doctor the type of pain you have and the intensity of pain...
there is one more possibilty if your brother is having pain in shoulder..some times a pain called frozen shoulder occurs in middle aged people.. so please go for as complete check up....
hope it helps
