Have Chest Pain, Headache, Tightness In Chest And Fatigue

My husband is 43 years old and for the last 2 weeks he's been suffering with chest pain, headaches, tightness in chest, difficulty to breath at times and fatigue. All this comes and goes. He recently saw his doc and they put him on cholesterol meds for his high cholesterol and they want him to get a stress test done.
Like is said all these symptoms comes and goes - and just started to happen 2 weeks ago. He has been unable to work because of this - pretty much lays on couch. Has gotten up and left house a few times but not for very long.
I'm very worried about him - unfortunately we do not have insurance but something needs to be done.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this these episodes of chest pain. I understand how difficult it gets when a loved one is sick and you have no insurance. because life has no duplicate, I will suggest that you go to the emergency room and take care of the bills later. He needs to be completely assessed for acute chest pain syndrome and potential fatal causes like heart diseases ruled out or managed adequately.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Feel free to ask for clarifications and more information if need be. I wish you well. Thanks for utilizing our services, we very much appreciate it.
