need to check: As all heart attacks may not present as typical ' severe left chest pain , radiating to arm.' your dad may be have a atypical presentation as you described , only way to know what causing his pain is to go to his doctor , age 50 is a critical age. Take him to the doctor soon.

Pain: Left upper extremity pain is a very nonspecific symptom and usually isn't related to the heart although that is one of the things associated with left upper extremity pain.
