Hello,
Your husband is already under treatment and is waiting for the investigation reports of the various tests he has undergone. The test reports have not yet been delivered to you. Now, he is experiencing sharp pain in the chest and pain also in his right leg. You are suggested to visit ER and get him admitted under a cardiologist or under the treating doctor so that he can get medical aid urgently.
Sharp chest pain can be indicative of MI, symptom of heart failure, developing CAD, etc. You are suggested to get him clinically examined so that treatment can be started. He can take antacids and PPIs, one SOS when required for temporary relieve. He can take Nitroglycerin if he has been prescribed. There is no need to wait and watch, delay will only lead to worsening of the symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
