Hi,
He needs to quit smoking otherwise no medicine will help to control stop pain. The breathing difficulty is also due to either stomach issue or chest. Ask him to take medicine of Pantoperazole for two weeks. However if you can take him to ER for chest radiography that would be better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
