Is he diabetic or BP or heart patient. What r other symptoms that he is experiencing?
By doing what like walking, exertion, eating or empty stomach- it increases or decreases in intensity. For how much time the pain remains?
Is there stiffness also?
How is his appetite?
Is he constipated?
Any problem in urine?
I need to know more to be able to make diagnosis. In the meanwhile Follow this
1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic). ) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do.
2. Don't Overeat
3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever ur mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is ur traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc.
4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc
5. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep.
6. Maintain active life style
7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods, Carbonated beverages
8. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit.
9. Drink lot of water.
10. Everyday preferably sleep on same time
Exercise in the form of yoga, cycling, Swimming, gym etc.
For more details, you can consult me

The pain can be due to abdominal or chest organ issues .also it can be due to pain in the rib bones or even some skin issues there.
Depending on his age and other health issues he has it would be easier to come down to the diagnosis.
You can consult me via the practo platform for further analysis and treatment.
Next Steps
u can apply hot fomentation before using the gel.
avoid using Otc drugs without consulting a doctor .more so in older patients.
