Hi,
Consult with his cardiologist regarding the chest pain. Once he gives his clearance, you can continue with the root canal treatment.

Thankyou for the question. His medical history is unknown to give the complete diagnosis. But taking a fitness from your respective cardiologist before performing a dental procedure is required . I would request you to kindly consult with your cardiologist immediately for treating the chest pain. Thankyou.
