His mother went with him!! how about you going with him! Have you tried calling the doctor?
I know that the HIPAA law could prevent them from telling you but give it a try and tell them
your concern. From what you say it could be anything from muscle, to heart to blood clots

i am not really sure what all they did. i know that sounds bad, but he has become really secretive about all of that here lately. i know they sent him to a cardiologist, but his mom took him and neither of them want to share anything. he has something going on with his prostate too. was diagnosed with hypokalemia (hope that is how you spell it) almost a year ago. so he is taking something to help him sleep at night, potassium and who knows what else. i just feel like i am left in the dark, and thought i would try and get someone elses opinion on only what i do know. he has been to the ER twice in the past six months, so it has to be something and this dr he goes too, well i dont really have any faith in him anymore. i just dont know.

What kind of treatment did the Dr give your husband? Meds, tests? It would'nt hurt to see a Cardiologist. Your husband is very young and I doubt it's his heart but you have to be safe and have it checked out. Did his Dr check out his lungs? Can you give me any more information? Does the pain happen after he eats, lays down, moves a certain way? Sorry about all the questions.   Remar
