Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

What your husband is experiencing may be related to GERD (acid reflux) or other gastrointestinal problems including gastric ulcer.

If he was my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations to find out what is causing your symptoms:
- Blood work
- Ecg
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Upper endoscopy

Hope this will be of help!
