The answer is in your question; he is suffering from "Mal Adjustment Syndrome" .
He is home sick, as he is missing his family and friends of childhood, etc.
Tell him politely to go and visit his home town, and if he likes down there he will not come back.
On the contrary he will be leading a happy, and healthy life. All his symptoms will disappear once reaches SWEET HOME.
Ensure that he is cardiac free before sending him home.

There are so many different causes for chest pain (cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological etc), some serious, some less so. It could be linked to stress. However, it could be something more serious. Even if it is not serious, it could be something treatable or at least manageable.
In the meantime, there's not a lot you can do (without knowing the cause). Try to keep him from stressing, as even if it is not stress related, extra stress will most likely exacerbate the symptoms.

hopefully it's just stress , but the only way to know for sure is to go see a dr. if he ever gets the pain again take him to the ER.
