Suggest Treatment For Pain And Pressure In The Chest

My husband is 49 and has been chest pains and pressure on and around his heart. He is a bit over weight but is very active and does alot at work (He builds swimming pools) I know I am rambling but I am a little scared. Today the onset was, we had been making love. He said there is no rhyme or reason as to when he has the episodes. He told me today that this has been going on for 5-6 months. He said it is getting more frequent and today was the most pain and most amount of pressure, he did not want me to take him to a doctor. I gave him an asprin and he layed down. He said that helps but he still feels "uncomfortable" in that area. His father has had quad bypass, so I am very concerned and would like some advice.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should definitely rule out heart diseases in your husband because he is having strong family history of heart diseases.
So immediately consult Cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
He may need cardiac supportive drugs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
