Given that your brother has been experiencing chest pain and breathing difficulties for the past three days, it is crucial to seek prompt medical attention. While an endoscopy can help identify gastrointestinal causes such as GERD or ulcers, chest pain combined with breathing problems can also indicate serious conditions like cardiac issues, respiratory infections, or pulmonary problems. It's essential to have a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare provider, which may include an ECG, chest X-ray, or other diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause and ensure appropriate treatment. Please take him to the nearest emergency room or consult his healthcare provider immediately.
