Probably: Your father needs a full consultation where a doctor evaluates his personal medical and social history, his family history, the details of his pain, and his physical findings. He may then need an EKG or a chest x-ray. THEN it may be decided that the best next step is a stress test. But please encourage him to see a doctor to evaluate this pain as soon as possible. If it is severe, call 911 now
