Seems more like anxiety. Your symptoms description is not typical of heart related pain. And at 22 age with normal blood reports he should not worry

The anxiety is understandable given the explosion of information in the public domain. This is flip side!
Having said that the description given by the patient is counted as -low probability of heart attack pain.
Post traumatic disorder like covid illness requires a careful counseling and assuaging his feelings.
Next Steps
Please follow his treating physician who took care of him

Ur described pain is not suggesting heart attack. Reduce ur anxiety. Not everyone will get heart attacks post covid. Use painkiller for ur pain reduction
