What Causes Chest Pain, Shortness Of Breath And Dizziness?

My husband complained of chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, felt like he was going to pass out and that he wasn't going to make it. Told me about it 2 hours after the fact. He refuses to go get checked and is still complaining his chest feels a little tight and he is short of breath. I did get him to take a baby aspirin. What else do you recommend I do for him?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should not wait at home and immediately take him to the hospital because his symptoms are more suggestive of heart disease like coronary heart disease and heart failure.
This needs urgent treatment without this, his life is infection danger.
He needs urgent ecg, 2d echo and if needed coronary angiography.
Coronary angiography is both, diagnostic and therapeutic.
So better not to wait at home. Take him to the hospital and start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
