What Causes Chest Pain And Aching Sensation In Arm?
I am worried about my husband who has been experianceing chest pain for almost a week (on and off) Some has been with aching in the left arm. He is convinced it is muscular, I am not so sure and with 4 small kids at home and a family history of heart disease I feel we sould not take the chance. He came home for lunch today with the pain and I called the Dr to make an appt but, the appt is for tomorrow. My husband said to me today "you know how you feel just before you think you might pass out, that is how my eyes feel but, I don't feel like I am going to pass out" I am scared but, dont know what to do. He has agreed to go to the Dr but, I am worried now and don't know if this should wait another 24hours. Help? This is making my stomach hurt I am so worried....

I certainly agree with you that he should seek immediate medical attention. Chest pain radiating to the arm can be very serious and life-threatening causes such as a heart attack or tear of the aorta need to be ruled out quickly. I hope he feels better.
