Suggest Treatment For Pain And Pressure In The Chest And Shoulder

My husband woke in the middle of the night with pressure on his chest that was only relieved by sitting up. He states that he has had the pressure feeling all day, with pain between his shoulder blades/back. He is currently taking generic drug for pevicid in which his new prescription looks a bit different but states it is Omeprazole
