Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Heart burn can not cause arm pain and tachycardia (rapid heart rate).
Possibility of heart disease (coronary artery disease - CAD) is more likely.
Rapid heart rate, chest and arm pain, cold hands, flushed face etc are suggestive of CAD more.
So better to take him to cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
He may need angiography if stress test is positive.
So don't wait at home, take him to hospital and rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
