Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can I can understand your concern.
Yes, you are right. You should definitely consult cardiologist for your husband.
By his history and description, possibility of heart related diseases is more.
Left sided chest pressure, sweating, obesity etc are in favour of heart diseases more.
So consult cardiologist and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring.
2. Ecg.
3. 2d echo
4. Stress test (trade mill test).
5. Coronary angiography (if required).
Don't worry, he will be alright but first consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
