He said that he had chest pain in the movie theature and didn't want me to tell anyone(my mom and him got into a huge fight)but I can't help but be worried. Right now he just left to go to the health club center and work out(....but sadly he always ends up doing 2-4 hours straight but only once a month in the past 4months now) He's a bit overweight, about 5ft 9inches tall and has a 45% body fat according to our scale.((But he doesn't look that fat. He has a lot of muscle and sort of has the daddy tummy I guess you can say.)) PLEASE HELP!!!!!! I mean should he really be excersizing when he said his chest hurted before? Am I just makeing abig deal out of this?

You should have your dad see a cardiologist ASAP> Chest pains can mean several different things. It could be angina, a form of heartburn, or it could be a warning sign of something more serious. Let him to know that you care about his health and that you are worried about him.

chest pain is a serious problem, ofcaurse he must doing exercise, but this is not enough. when he has chest pain he must go to ER , they will do some important lab tests,
weight and smoking increase possibility of heart problems, but sometimes we see young slim person with heart diseases reason is that someone can be slim and has high cholesterol which is the biggest cause of heart diseases( i mean that lab test are very important,), he must stop smoking if he smokes, and has healthy diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables.. also I think all his problem is caused by stress. try to talk with your mother. take care.

Tell him to see a doctor about the chest pains. It might be nothing. He should not ignore it. He might be on the verge of having a heart attack.

Ask about dizines and arms going numb. These are also tale signs of a heart attack. Know lots of healthy looking people that have hidden problems. Tale some of his friends to look out for him. They will have more pursudeing skills to get him to go if he looks bad to them.
