Could be heart: At 50yo he should be checked out by a medical professional. He may need a stress test and blood pressure/cholesterol determination.

He might need to be on a daily aspirin. It's time to have this checked out.

Neurologist: An impingement of a nerve is suspected. The impingement may be at the wrist(carpal tunnel) but could be at a higher level in the neck,shoulder or elbow.
