Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your father's situation and problem.
Possibility of cervical spine related problem (spondylitis) is more.
But in old age (age more than 60 years), we should always rule out cardiac cause first for chest pain.
So better to first get done ecg, 2d echo.
If both are normal than no need to worry for cardiac diseases.
Than get done x ray of cervical spine and if needed MRI for the diagnosis of spondylitis.
He may need cervical belt and physiotherapy.
Calcium and vitamin d3 supplements are also useful.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
