This may indicate heart problems.  I have a heart condition and have experienced pain in this area.  A doctor is the only one that can tell you what this is.   All the best.

I think I have the same symptoms. Initial diagnoses point to evelated liver enzymes. This been going on for over a yr on and off. I'd be seeing the MD for further diagnoses in a week. Will post the outcome.

I have pain in the same area and have just been diagnosed with Primary biliary Cirrhosis, he really should be checked. If it turns out to be the same as mine, the prognosis is much better the quicker they start to treat it. Does anyone know if liver chelation is an option?

Few of us like going to the doctor but sometimes we have to.
Get your Husband seen by an MD. No one here is going to be able to diagnose his condition let alone predict the course of whatever is ailing him.
Really, get him to a doctor.
Good Luck,
Mike
