My husband is 43 years old. He has been having chest pains,this has happened several times,once him and my son was outside he started hurting my son got him a glass of water he laid there a few min.He said he couldnt breath good when this happened,then he said he was ok.Anyway I finally got him to go to the doctor and they done a lot of blood work,his triglicerides are realy high which I knew he had this problem he just quit taking his medication because he couldnt sleep and he had a liver test come back elevated.It has been 2 years since he seen the doctor he put him on crestor for his trigleceride problem and he done a ekg this showed up abnormal and the doctor said it looked like he may have had an heart attack.He sent him to have a pet scan and I got a call yesterday this was normal. He told me he had this pain in his chest the day before and this worries me. They also said his liver test was elevated and to be sure to take his medication and come back periodically to have his blood checked.I am more worried about this pain he is having I dont know if we should go to another doctor something is causing this pain.He is high risk heart disease runs in his family he smokes and has high blood pressure and is overweight.I would appreciate any advice are comments and many prayers on this.Thanks
