Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, he should immediately consult doctor and rule out heart diseases for his chest pain.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test to rule out heart diseases.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
He is known case of CML (chronic myeloid leukemia). And this can spread to bone (ribs) and lungs and they inturn cause chest pain.
So get done CT scan and PET scan to rule out rib and lung metastases.
So don't wait at home. Take him to the Hospital and discuss all these with his doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
