Hi, your husband had pain in the chest, on left side, and pain and tingling of the arm and fingers. His doctor said there must be a crack in his ribs, But you didn't mention whether there is any history of the injury to the chest.
I advise you to consult a cardiologist for diagnosis, and treatment, to exclude the ischemia of the heart, and cervical spondylosis. Thank you.
