He is having pain in the chest should be correct.

Option A would be wrong. "He's not coming tomorrow". Tomorrow is future tense and isn't coming is present continuous then how could we club both? It would be "He won't come/won't be coming tomorrow".

@Vertika.

"a severe headache" uses 'severe' as a supporting word but in the case of using "a pain" we don't find any such supporting word so I think its the wrong usage here.

We know that antecedent and pronoun should be appropriate. It should not be ambiguous.

Here we are speaking about the third person in 1st and 2nd part of the sentence but in third part who needs to go to the doctor?Whether the speaker or third person. So third party is wrong.

B should be the answer.

B should be the answer as there is only one type of pain and as it is mentioned chest pain so no need of writing 'the' before chest pain.

Above two options are correct, But the error given by you is ambiguous. He is having a pain and he has to see the doctor. Here he is common between the two sentences. Then is not correct to take it common. He is having a pain so he has to see the doctor could be correct.

Here "A pain" is wrong I think.
