Answer 1

Any chest pain should not be ignored. You should see a doctor, get some tests done to rule out anything related. It could be warning signs. If you have a family history with heart related problems then that increases your chances. Do not ignore it!

Since they are not demanding to see him immediately, it must be a problem that is not immediately life threatening. However, to avoid the risk of a heart attack, I would take him to an ER the next time he has one of these chest pain attacks. The shortness of breath and radiation of pain down the left arm indicates some sort of blockage. It could be his carotid artery has some blockage and he might need surgery to open this up. IT is done quite regularly and although it carries a certain amount of risk, is much safer than not seeking treatment. At only 33, he is quite young to be having this much chest pain. How does his blood pressure run? If it is high, he should be watching that also. I would recommend he pay close attention to his bodily signals. If he feels tired, rest. If he has pain, stop whatever he is doing and rest. Avoid fatty, spicy and salty foods. Report any pain such as you have described to his doctor. This could be quite serious, but not always. Good luck to both of you.

Answer 4

I work on a cardiac floor. It's most likely stress or indigestion. Maybe acid reflux. It doesn't sound like anything heart related.

Answer 5

I agree it sounds like perhaps indigestion...try an antacid and if that doesn't work, see your family physician

Answer 6

stress
