Hello,

Your husband had sudden left sided body pain. It can be due to infection and injury to internal organs, muscles, or nerves. Pain in one or both arms may be a symptom of a heart attack, blocked arteries reduce oxygen supply to the heart, damaging the heart muscle and leading to a heart attack. Get your husband clinically examined by a GP or a cardiologist. Get routine cardiac tests done. His treatment will depend on the pathology detected.

Treatment for a heart attack typically includes medications, or surgery or a combination of the two. Gas in the digestive tract can cause similar symptoms. Making changes to diet and lifestyle are suitable treatment options. Taking PPIs or antacids will help to reduce the symptoms. Enlarged or ruptured spleen may also present with similar 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
